Yeah, I had that problem with the video card. I have multiple Windows licenses so I can start over. Reinstalling the software is a PITA. Figure it's worth a try before doing the full wipe and install. Will do the copy, remove the HDD, startup on the SSD and shutdown with restart set for safe mode. Can then uninstall the old chipset drivers and let Windows install the default stuff. I remember Win95 have major issues when I did this so hopefully MS has corrected this. XP/7 handled it pretty well.
