    I have downloaded and put in the new vbios and whenever i try to install any graphics driver for it, it never will finish installing it and give me errors. I tried the new driver from dell for it and it still will not finish It installs the CCC but it wont let me load it up.

    Hi theres,

    Did you install the dell New ATi driver 1st. You were supposed to install that 1st before flashing to the new Vbios.

    No matter though.

    You should uninstall CCC or any ATi software and driver now. Then reboot into safe mode and run Driver Sweeper and CC cleaner. Clean out any other ATi files and reg and stuffs.

    Then reboot into normal OS mode and install the new dell ATi drivers that came out yesterday. Reboot and you should be all good now.

    Cheers. :)
