I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to post this, if not please forgive and guide me to the correct one.

I keep getting the BSOD with atikmpag.sys error. Looking online it seemed that it was related to my video card so I uninstalled the AMD drivers and downloaded the latest version from AMD web page. The problem is the drivers are not signed so MS will not let them install. When I try to use the Advance settings and set the OS to accept unsigned drivers the pc reboots, throws a BSOD - atkimpag.sys error, restores to a earlier set point which removes the setting I just made to allow the unsigned drivers. Back to square one. I've tried this multiple times with the same thing happening each time.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.
