I still use Nvidia and use nvidia drivers. I to run into problems on occasion with drivers and kernels. When you switched from Nvidia, what did you switch too? Do you still use drivers you install or kernel drivers? How well does the video system work? In other words, plenty fast enough for what you do. I don't do any sort of heavy gaming. Since I have a nice game on my cell phone now, I play it almost all the time. I can't recall playing a game of solitaire on my computer in a long while. My biggest thing, two video ports, one for monitor and one for TV. Most TV videos aren't very high def but some are 1080P. That's all my TV can handle. Just exploring options. Dale :-) :-)
