I've found the driver file in my the ATI folder in program files.. When installing the driver it states:
This package requires ATI catalyst install manager to intall. Would you like to launch ATI catalyst Insall manager to install this package.
I've already installed this I'm sure but I selected yes.. The manager installs and then nothing.
In the directory, the file for setup information reads:
[Version]
Signature="$Windows NT$"
Provider=%ATI%
ClassGUID={4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Class=Display
DriverVer=07/14/2009, 8.640.0.0000
;;LayoutFile=layout.inf
CatalogFile=CH_85216.CAT
Im guessing thats the latest driver, as this was downloaded from the link I posted earlier. After running the installer package the device manager still tells me I'm operating with the driver version
8.553.2.0.
Ive also tried removing the old driver before installing the new one, it never worked and I used system restore in order to get back to square one.
If I keep using a trial and error method, could the continous BSOD's cause any further damage as I don't want to test things in order to avoid the system restarting and giving me piles of minidumps.
Also, could the problem be the driver for the disc-drive?
i'm off to university tomorrow this is the last thing I wanted

! any further suggestions appreciated, thanks.
Edit: Could I also just add that 4570 is part of the 4550 series of drivers, right?
