My recommendation is to only use drivers from your computer manufacturer, motherboard manufacturer, or individual hardware device manufacturer and then double check and see who has the most current for the particular device.
You should turn off the hardware update feature portion of the Windows Update Utility. If you don't know how, post back and we'll step you through it.

What about all the security updates etc?

No problem with Windows Update in general. You should allow it to take care of the OS files as normal, although some people like to set it so that they can review the files (updates) that are going to be installed in advance. I'll leave that up to you.
What I was talking about is the hardware updates.
Right click computer and choose properties.
Select Advanced system settings from the left column and then select the Hardware tab and click the Device Installation Settings button.
Select No let me choose and then
Never install driver software from Windows Update.
And save changes.
