No button for testing DirectDraw and Direct3D was present, but this did appear on the bottom of the page

The file aticfx64.dll,aticfx64.dll,aticfx64.dll,aticfx32,aticfx32,aticfx32,atiumd64.dll,atidxx64.dll,atidxx64.dll,atiumdag,atidxx32,atidxx32,atiumdva,atiumd6a.cap,atitmm64.dll is not digitally signed, 
which means that it has not been tested by Microsoft's Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL).  You may be able to get a WHQL logo'd driver from the hardware manufacturer.

Are you still getting the BSOD's?

Are you still getting the BSOD's?

[NotoriousBOV]

They seem even more common without the ATI drivers installed.

[rshaffer61]

OK lets see what driver you have.
Do you know what version exactly you installed?
Do you have a link tot he page I could take a look at or the make and model of your video card?

[NotoriousBOV]

Running standalone 10.12 Drivers for the HD Radeon 5870.

specific make of card is this(newegg)

[rshaffer61]

V 10.11 was the one before but did you already try that?

[NotoriousBOV]

10.12 is the only release for 64 bit operating systems. Thinking the BSoD's were malware at the time, as I had some strange happenings with programs accessing websites, I splurged and upgraded instead of a reinstall. Kiiiinda shot myself in the foot I think now...

I could try the release by NGO, but have my doubts. http://www.ngohq.com...eme&dwn_id=1330

EDIT:
found some older drivers, 10.11 was a no go, 10.10e trying now. I remember 10.10 working back when, but who knows now.
EDIT2:
10.10e also unsuccessful. I clearly remember thos drivers working before, so I am unsure of where to go now.

I'm not sure how much I would trust the driver from the link you provided.
It would most likely be the same or a beta version. OK I want to test something. Reboot and go into Safe Mode and then see if the BSOD happens there.

[NotoriousBOV]

BSoD's aren't happening in Safe Mode, at least in the time-frame they would in normal mode.

[rshaffer61]

But are they happening at all in Safe Mode?
If so then the issue is not a driver but a OS issue or a hardware issue.

[NotoriousBOV]

They are not happening in safe mode, sorry if I was ambiguous. I could leave it up for a longer time frame to make absolutely sure.

[rshaffer61]

Well then the issue has to be OS or Hardware,
The most obvious choice would be the video card/ . Do you have onboard video or a spare video card to use?

[NotoriousBOV]

Unfortunately I have neither of those.

I just ran it overnight in safe mode, still no BSoD's. I think its' quite safe to say they dont happen that mode.

The we can try a in place repair of your OS and see if that will work.
OK the issue seems to be the Win 7 OS itself that is causing your problem so lets do a Repair Installation by following the steps HERE.
Please read and follow all instructions carefully.

My install disc is at home, and I could get it mailed to me in a few days. I'm sure someone on my dorm floor has an .iso burnt, but that's not acceptable is it?
