I looked through my action centre to find that the GC drivers were not functioning properly so I followed some rubbish on MS and went onto my device manager and 'Updated The Driver Software' I got the blue screen of death and its been annoying as I cant get on steam or watch YouTube videos, I'm currently downloading a driver from AMD which I hope will solve this but anyone out there that can help would help please reply. PS. GC is in the title.

If your getting blue screens then go into safe mode and uninstall your current drivers. Then boot normally and install the lastest drivers. If your still having issues you'll have to go back into safe mode and remove the drivers again. I'll look up a post for you to remove all reminants of your drivers as some files and reg files are left on the pc even after removing the drivers from add/remove programs.

If needed refer to this article. http://www.overclock.net/t/988215/how-to-properly-uninstall-ati-amd-software-drivers-for-graphics-cards

Thanks lostsurfer, I will try that soon, I went onto AMD and currently installing the latest Driver software they think is correct for the Card, I am no PC Specialist so trial and error is okay here but thank you for your input :) by the way I don't know if its a problem but because of my slow internet I've only downloaded about 70mb of it and the bar hasn't even moved yet :p

No worries, let me know what happens. I had some serious issues with Ati drivers recently had underlying issues that caused me to wipe and reload, but I tried everything under the sun before I had to so i'm freshly familiar with your situation. Keep me posted.

Ah Good Idea! What I'm currently doing is trying the auto detect function from AMD again and its working well at the moment, almost finishes I think but If that doesn't work I will try with the Disc, I assume its the Dell XPS 8500 disc that came with the PC because there isn't any other disc that I can find, I will keep you posted to see what happens. :)
