How to Have only one video controller driver in windows 7  

Hey People,
so when i installed windows 7, it seemed to get random bsod everytime. So, later i found out that my graphics driver is the one causing this problem.

When i had installed windows vista, there was only one video controller not two and thats why it was running flawlessly in vista but in 7, when i installed it, it seemed to have to drivers for the same device. I just want to know, how to have one because iam very sure that the blue screens will stop coming if i have only one video controller.

Download the video driver you want to install. There should only be 1, you`d get it from Acer.com Acer | Explore Beyond Limits

Remove all the video driver/drivers and software from your PC. Control Panel/Programs and Features

Use ccleaner to cleanup the registry. https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download

Install the driver you downloaded.

Could you please post a shot of Device Manager now and please expand display adapters, I want to see what you`re talking about.

Thank You.

Then try Intel, since it`s an Intel chipset.

I`m shocked Acer wouldn`t have the video driver.

Please post the requested snip.

Hey, i can't post snip as of now because im in safe mode.
But, here is the deal,
I did what u told me to with ccleaner and then when i logged into windows again. Only one driver got installed. Then it worked perfectly, no bsods at all but then suddenly when i was browsing the web, a bsod occured.

So, i went into safe mode and then device manager. there i saw that the second driver came back!!

That second driver is what causing this issue!

Hey,
Here is the snip!

I think your problem is actually having two of the same adapters.

The second one is a ghost from something you did or something, look at the details of the lower one in my post above.

Try uninstalling that bottom one,

See,
Thats what i have been doing,

I uninstalled the second one and then restarted windows. After i log in, a small balloon at the bottom saying "Installing Driver for Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset. after some 5mins, a blue screen occurs and when i log into windows using safe mode, that second driver comes back!!

OK, lets change something,

Using this method,

Device Installation Settings

Change your settings to this,



Then try it.
