I have one (well three) of these new Intel NUC7i3bnk Kits. I tried to set them up and use them as workstations. I installed Windows 10 Pro Version 1703 from an USB stick, and so far, so good. The initial setup worked and I was able to login to the standard user and begin installing drivers. Or so I thought.
Every time I attempt to install a graphics driver, or every time I install an windows update (which somehow includes the graphics driver), the PC immediately freezes up and has to be hard-reset. When restarting after the hard reset, the login screen comes up as normal, but immediately begins flickering and freezes up 3-5 seconds afterwards, requiring another hard reset.
The only fix I've found so far is to not install the graphics driver and hard-disable windows updates, which is obviously unnaceptable.
What else I have tried so far:
- 3 different graphics driver versions: 15.45.16.4542, 15.45.16.4627 and 15.45.16.4664
- Installing a BIOS update to the latest BIOS V. BNKBL 357.86A.0046
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
