BSOD on starting Windows
I have a Toshiba L655 -183 with Win 7 Home Premium 64bit laptop with Intel i5 460m , 4GB Ram, 500GB HDD & A Ti Radeon HD 5650 graphics card . I am not so conversant with computers but ill try my best to give as much information as possible. Anyway up until a few weeks ago i could run the laptop fine then i installed AVG antivirus 2012 and i started getting BSOD everytime i start up and immediately after the windows logo . The BSOD would always blame it on the graphics card . Anyway after a few days searching it seemed the antivirus was at fault so i uninstalled it using the AV uninstaller as guided although this seemed to have no effect.( I also installed MSE ) So fully frustrated i finally formatted the laptop and installed a clean copy of win 7 64bit Ultimate .(hoping it would erase any traces of the whatsoever damage i had done. The first drivers i installed after the clean install were the Display driver but to my dismay there was still the dreaded BSOD. I have downloaded drivers from the Toshiba website and other sources but whatever version or source it still ends up in BSOD ............ I have tried to post the BSOD dump files with this thread and used safe mode to switch to standard vga mode so as i can use the laptop i would very much like to return to using windows normally and VERY VERY much appreciate any advice , suggestions and time taken on this problem .......... THANK YOU in advance
