Fresh Windows Install? Do the Chipset Driver First

After installing Windows, the order of drivers matters a little. Start with the chipset, restart, then move to graphics, networking and audio. This gives the system a solid foundation.

Download the package from AMD, run it, and let it finish. If your motherboard maker provides its own chipset bundle, that is a fine alternative, but avoid mixing several versions.

Once done, open Device Manager and look for yellow warning icons. Anything left may need its own driver, which the motherboard maker's support page usually provides.
