I have bought a XFX Radeon HD 6870 Graphics Card and A 600 Watt Power Supply for my Dell T3400 :D
Windows Installed the stock drivers via Windows Update.
My problem is that whenever I Install the Official Drivers with Catalyst in them (Included CD Drivers and 12.2 Drivers and above including the official XFX drivers.) I will get a BSOD (After I choose Express or Custom) when the text says Detecting Hardware. (Something like that)

Heres my basic specs:
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
4GB Ram
XFX Radeon HD 6870

Here is my BSOD Dump:
PNP_DETECTED_FATAL_ERROR (ca)
PnP encountered a severe error, either as a result of a problem in a driver or
a problem in PnP itself. The first argument describes the nature of the
problem, the second argument is the address of the PDO. The other arguments
vary depending on argument 1.
Arguments:
Arg1: 000000000000000b, Deleted PDO reported as relation
One of the removal relations for the device being removed has
already been deleted.
Arg2: fffffa8004064310, Related PDO
Arg3: 0000000000000001, Removal relations
Arg4: 0000000000000000

uninstall any drivers that are in the system for the card...then install a program called driver sweeper....restart the pc and boot into safe mode and run driver sweeper....then reboot back into windows and install the latest drivers from ati....let me know if this fixes your problem.

Done that already but as-well done it again. I manually install the drivers but I wanted to get the control panel.

In device manager, I updated the 6870 with the 12.2 drivers (found after running the 12.2 exe then letting it download the files then closing the exe. Files are in AMD Under Main HardDrive) But If I manually install the drivers like I did, I don't get Catalyst or anything.

Its an Intel XD. Intel's are Dell's Friends.

did you try the exact method that I posted? there is a reason I told you to do it specifically that way....I Have had issues with amd drivers when there is left over crap from old drivers so it causes it to not install right

Yes I did what you said the exact way. I even Fresh Install Windows and Tried the method before Windows Installed and AMD Drivers

dang you even reformatted windows? hmm that makes me think there is something worse going on then just software issues.....so windows installs the drivers just fine? have you tried to play a game with the windows does drivers? does it give decent performance?

Hell Yeah! I mean manual installation still updates the drivers, its just Catalyst is not included. I'm fine without Catalyst but, it would be nice to have it.

12.2 and Up kill my computer without manual. I'm fine right now with 12.2 no reason to downgrade :) Just If I can obtain Catalyst for 12.2 or above that would be Fantastic.

I am having very similar problems (I was hoping for a solution here). Same computer, Dell T3400, but with ATI FireGL V3600 graphics card and 8 GB ram. Fresh install of Windows 7 Enterprise. I am trying to install the unified driver version 8.911.3.4 dated 6/20/2012.

I get the BSOD every time while the installer is reporting "detect hardware". What is interesting, however, is that I have an identical T3400 that I performed the same installation on a few weeks ago, again after a fresh install of Windows 7, and it installed without issue.

What I have tried:

Fresh Win7 install, Intel chipset drivers install, Catalyst install - FAIL
Fresh Win7 install, Catalyst install - FAIL
Fresh Win7 install, Win7 SP1 install, Intel chipset drivers install, Catalyst install - FAIL
Fresh Win7 install, Intel chipset drivers install, manual ATI graphic driver install (no control center), Catalyst install - FAIL

I tried using the video card from the working system. Catalyst install failed.
After the fresh Win7 install, I connected the hard drive to the working system. Catalyst install failed.

I'm about to clone the hard drive of the working box and call it done.

I had this same issue with trying to get drivers to install for a Amd Radeon HD 6850 on a Dell T3400. I found that I had to use the windows driver installer to install an older driver, then I could use the amd catalyst software to install the latest driver without the bsod at the point where it is detecting hardware. Hope this helps anyone else with this issue.
