I just downloaded amd drivers from http://support.amd.com/en-us/download, my video card - notebook readon hd 4200! i downloaded the driver for my laptop (catalyst 13.9), everything was good, but when i play games, they keep crashing, and this is a new hard drive! PLEASE HELP! If i download the auto driver detecter 14.4, it shows the blue screen, and restarts!

And do i have to uninstall the old version in safe mode like in this link? - http://www.overclock.net/t/988215/how-to-remove-your-amd-ati-gpu-drivers, and do i chose safe mode with network or without? (installing and uninstalling). And does the antivirus shutting off will matter in installation process?

you can use this app in safe mode to remove the old driver: http://www.wagnardmobile.com/DDU/ and then install the new one.

no need to close anti virus program, in safe mode third party apps are not up as far as i remember. whatever you go on safe mode it's same.

Would be good to send to repair center or try some other things like check your hdd, memory for bad sectors. to check your hdd use official hdd test from your manufacturer.
