The story is i received my laptop yesterday then i turned it on finished setting up username and password bla bla ok then finally i got to the desktop i was so happy haha coz i finally got my alienware BUT it was like within a minute the BSOD appeared!!! Umm then i restarted it this time even worse coz no BSOD came up and it just shut down power off!!! The BSOD was about bugcode usb driver something. ok and then i rang technical support they lead me to restore the system ok i did it and again got to the desktop oh this time it didnt shut down by itself well i thought the problem was resolvedthen i started installing the drivers ok after i installed the 7970M driver and restarted it. It fXXking shut down again just power off immediately shut down!!! OK just to check it was the 7970m driver problem i restored the computer again and just installed the 7970m driver then restarted. It shut down.
So guys any help plz?

Which Catalyst version are you installing? If you're starting from scratch, you need to install the Intel integrated graphics drivers FIRST, then the Catalyst drivers. Plus, you need to switch the GPUs from the Intel iGPU to the AMD 7970m before you install the updated AMD drivers.
