Dell Studio laptop BSOD caused by ATI Radeon driver - what to use?
4 year old Dell Studio XPS, running Windows 7 Professional.
Today, after no obvious changes (except a reboot) my Dell Studio XPS started blue-screening, with the error "Attempt to reset the display driver and recover from timeout failed". On reboot there were odd characters across the screen, Windows started to load, then BSOD again.
After much head-banging and time-wasting I read the BSOD message! I was able to boot into Safe Mode.
Uninstalling the driver for my ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4670 allows me to boot normally, but obviously with crap graphics.
I have tried reinstalling the drivers from the Dell site, and those from the AMD site, but both cause the same BSOD.
Are there other drivers I can use?
