Windows 7 and installing chipset/vga drivers for the AMD 7 series chipset

Thread Starter 
I was wondering about which is the best kind of chipset/vga driver to install on Socket AM2+ boards with AMD 7 Series chipset and integrated graphics.

My motherboard is

GA-MA78GM-S2H (rev. 1.0)
North Bridge: AMD 780G
Integrated Grapics: ATI Radeon HD 3200


I've tested 3 different drivers

Chipset/VGA Drivers from gigabyte dated 2009,
File size: 80MB
(installs fine)

AMD 7-Series Chipset (All 7-Series Chipsets) from amd.com, dated 2012
File size: 26MB
(BSOD after restart) Why would it blue screen?

Radeon 3xxx Series (Radeon 3200 Series) from amd.com, dated 2012
File size: 156MB
(installs fine)

Also I'm not gaming at the moment, so I'm more interested in getting the best performance out of Adobe Flash Player. smile.gif

You listed a chipset and a video card. They each use different drivers.
