Hello, I was about to give World of Warcraft a try but it said that I should update my Video drivers first to get optimal performance. So I downloaded the auto detect and install from AMD and started downloading and updating. I also got the gaming evolved client with the new driver software.

Shortly after it finished and I was installing the new driver. The screen went blank and then blue screened.
I rebooted my system (Which is custom built and only a few months old) to find that Windows Aero was not functioning so I checked my drivers and they were "up to date" apparently according to auto detect. So ignoring it I tried to boot up some games but none of them worked. WoW said it couldn't detect a suitable graphics card and none of my other games gave a clear explanation although i know it's related.

WTF should I do? and WTH happened?

Unfortunately, I don't know how to do that... so probably not. I've updated my drivers before with no problems.
Not even my screensaver works because it says my video card does not run with direct 3d :(
