    None of the 11.x version of the catalyst seems to work. My Bios is 213 and vBios is 012.020.000.032. I mean according to the link I have down there I feel like I should be fine but whenever I play games with catalyst version higher than 11 it would keep giving me GSOD no matter what.

    I didn't overclock my unit or anything. Would there be a solution to this? I am fine with the stock catalyst I have now but the performance sucks and I really would like to use the latest version of the catalyst. Please someone help me.

    What is the full number? Like 12.020.000.032. 038352

    I am guessing you dont have the new vBIOS for the GPU. It will GSOD with anything higher than Catalyst 10.1 if you dont apply the new VBIOS.

    Here is what you need to know to do the update, its simple.
