    If they're in the device manager, you could just right click on them and choose uninstall, while checking the box to "delete the driver software for this device."

    found a asus stamped NV8600gts i meant to put in my wifes pc. so i installed it.
    i restarted after win 7 installed its own driver and it hung on the load up ilol
    now i am getting repair loops .. can't win

    finally into safe mode, install nvidia drivers, restart - black screen for 20 sec then bsod
    with an error like the ati only nvidia equiv. uninstalled, removed card. leaving as it is for now

    found chip-set driver for my board m2a-vm hdmi, @support . asus . com . / download
    m2a search.... dl'd and unzipped, ran it and its a frikkin ccc package, sigh.

    i put the hdmi pcie card that came with mobo and enabled surround view and got 4 monitors to work that was cool..dvi rgb hdmi and tv-YPbPr that was good, but not for gaming..

    unless u can think of anything else, like even installing what asus call their 'chip-set' driver first since the mobo disk i got is soo out of date it doesn't support even vista, i'm thinking of maybe buying a more up to date mobo..suggestions? love to hear some.

    How old is your Mobo? ive gone through a few PCs and I dont recall ever having to disable the onboard graphics when putting on Drivers for a vid card.

    Im running an ATI HD4870, had the card inserted when I installed 7 (clean install), it booted up normally with its own drivers installed for the card. I then simply ran the latest drivers on the ATI website for Win7, installed fine, rebooted, and then all was fine.

    Quickly reading through the thread I can see you were installing other software before your graphics drivers were being installed. To really troubleshoot it I would be installing the drivers of the vid card FIRST after a clean install and not installing any other software (AV, gamepad etc) prior, and then see if you can get it to bsod.
    just m2c.

    Good luck.

    My mobo the M2a-VM HDMI is just over a year old.

    Originally when i first installed 7 i had the ati card in..altho when it came to the 'windows is starting for the first time yadda yadda, detecting this n that it detected vga settings and went bsod. No sh$t.

    Thinking old school, i took the vid card out and did a new installation. finally got into windows 7 desktop nice n smooth..Followed my old school routine and uninstalled whatever graphics it found, which happened to be the x1200 (x1250) on board. Shut the pc down, installed my ati card, set up bios, i have all my manuals so i know to disable hdmi, surround view etc and ensure that pcie is the primary adaptor, as in the mobo you can't physically disable the onboard graphics.

    I restarted the machine, it went straight into windows 7, detected the card, installed its own win 7 driver and wanted the restart..then that is were the bsod's began, it would sit on load win 7 screen for a few secs, I see num lock light go on and off, screen flicks and wammo, bsod.

    Now that was what i call a barebone install, the OS and nothing else, i had a ps2 mouse in and a logitech usb $15 keyboard connected, i had my other hdd's out and my other monitors were not plugged in..

    Following torrentg's first advice of removing that .sys file and updating software manually worked, i restarted and it was working, altho when i installed the ccc software it bsod again.

    So i have rinse and repeated my own process a number of times now with epic fail.

    I called tech support for asus and gave my bios version etc and he said its fine as is for win7 and that and the only device drivers that may need updating were the ones i mentioned earlier.

    See you were lucky, you actually got into desktop on your first login with your card, mine bsod before it got there on installation.

    So what exactly is the ccc software?
    if you had it working without the ccc software and then it bsods when you put it on, wouldnt you just rinse repeat but not put on the ccc? (sorry i dont actually know what it is).

    Thats the ati catalyst com center software.

    I did rinse and repeat the process but it failed

    I'm going to install my mobo's chipset driver package, it's ati ccc stuff but thats whats on the mobo after all, i just want to see what happens..

    can always restore back :)

    installing the chipset drivers worked for the on board ati1250 and the ccc loaded no problems and was able to custom all four monitors. :)
    Altho, i uninstalled the video card from device manager and uninstalled the ccc so that the chipset drivers for the mobo were left behind...shutdown pc..install ati 4650..restarted..win 7 installs its own driver again..restart. no bsod, was surprised to say the least..
    So i installed the ati 4600 series 9.10 driver package, not ccc... Installed with no errors..
    restarted, bsod, same atikmdag.sys error..

    Convinced now that it has to do with the on board vid card, i will buy a new mobo bcoz the only spare i have is a M2N8-VMX and that is not supported for win7, only up to and inc vista 64x according to asustek.

    Fixed bsod ati rad hd4600 series


    Lastest drivers from 9-12-vista64_win7_64dd used.

    After reading other posts about ppl having other issues with too much ram in installation i thought, well you never know, i took some ram out to make it 3gig.

    At same time put the card in.

    Windows found and installed its own crap.

    Restart no prob. Made a restore point. Ran a rating 5.0

    Ran the driver above mentioned only. Then did a rating on my pc, 5.9 not bad.

    Restarted with no BSOD. Yay freaking yay, made a restore point. Do i install the
    CCC, still undecided.

    Should I put the other ram in. Undecided, but probably will.

    Done..

    hi,,, i have read through this thread and its very simaler to another im looking at on this site,,,, its regarding windows 7 and HD4000 series graphics cards, and also Acer laptops and the switch able ATI graphics some acers carry,,,, which unfortunatly i have just got 2 off,,, for my wife and youngest daughter,,,,
    the way i see it is,,,, there are no graphic drivers available for HD4000 series cardsd and windows 7,,, not from ATI or from Acer,,, i rang up Acer service line and put it to them about there being no drivers and they confirmed it,,,, apparently the box makers Lenovo also make a laptop with switchable ATI graphics processing units the same as in my Acer Aspire 7535G,,, but they got round this issue by making there own drivers for their customers who had bought there pc's and were in the same difficulty,,,
    here is a link to the thread in question,,,, i hope this helps,,
    Radeon Mobility HD 4570 Not working after win 7 upgrade
    very frustrating for me now,,, as im sat waiting for a driver update by either Acer or ATI,,,,
    good luck with your issue
