ATI Drivers

[mgrove91]

I recently installed a new copy of 64bit Win7 over my 32bit. I want to start this post by saying my 32bit ATI Radeon HD 6850 graphics drivers have been working completely fine for the last week.

After finishing the install, I installed my new 64bit drivers for the card and rebooted accordingly. I got a memory dump BSOD on restart. After trying many things (reinstalling windows from a clean format, safe mode, etc) the only thing that fixed it was uninstalling the graphics drivers.

What can I do to allow me to install the drivers AND boot up correctly..?

Thanks!

Win7 64bit
Athlon 64 X2 5600+
Radeon HD 6850
4GB DDR2 RAM
(in the midst of upgrading, that's why the 6850 is way out of place)

Did you do a fresh install of the OS? If not thats probably the problem as there are..I'm thinking..... some "remnants" of the 32-bit driver may be conflicting with the 64-bit drivers....

 

[mgrove91]

I formatted the drive and then freshly installed the OS, yup.

 

[lowjack989]

Which MOBO are you using?

 

[fowang]

remove graphics drivers reboot, and then install the new drivers

 

[mgrove91]

Yup, I've tried that..

 

[mgrove91]

I'm using an older one but I can't believe that it would be a problem. It's the GA-MA69GM-S2H Gigabyte motherboard. Like I said, it worked fine with this card in 32bit but now 64bit is not working

Are you using a full version or upgrade version of 64-bit Windows 7?

Full version, yes. Clean and everything, no upgrades.
