BSOD afer trying to install VGA drivers, stop c00021a
A few days ago, my computer decided to power down well in the middle of a match of Dota2. when I tried to re-boot, I got BSOD "Stop c00021a" after the "windows is starting" screen. I reformatted the hardrive and reinstalled win7 from the reinstall disk that came with my computer, that worked and allowed my computer to boot. I reinstalled most of the Important updates (up to windows 7 SP1) but whenever I try to reinstall my Raedon HD 5570 drivers (either through the application or a manual install) after rebooting I get the same BSOD again, and have to use system restore to wipe the drivers, Startup repair fails to fix. In dxdiag, It gets listed as just "Standard VGA graphics adaper".
Specs:
Manufacturer: iBUYPOWER
OS: Windows 7 home premium 64bit
CPU: Athlon II X4
Motherboard: ASUS M4N68T-M-V2
Memory: 4GB DDR3
VGA: ATI Radeon HD 5570 1GB

Hardrive: 1TB SATA ll
PSU: 700W
Its the original OS
OEM
I've had this rig for about 2 years.
Just reinstalled the OS a few days ago due to BSOD whenever I tried booting.
Thanks for any and all help!
