    Actually, can anyone here help me out with a driver related problem?
    I have an Envy 15 1060ea, i7-720qm, 4gb, 4830 etc.
    I burnt off the recovery disks because i wanted to install my own version of windows 7 ultimate.
    I did so, installed all the necessary drivers and avast anti-virus.

    The problem i face is that if i install ANYTHING other than the ati drivers supplied by HP my laptop BSOD's on boot.
    I have tried the 10.3 and the 10.2 from strags.com. Even the 9.9 beta from ati's website doesn't work.

    The computer is running fine otherwise, without a single hiccup.
    I cant overclock when the HP drivers are installed, and i have tried every possible tool, invluding atitool, rivatuner, atitray, and the amd gpu clock tool
    I want to overclock the card a bit and get the full slew of options available, since the CCC that comes with the HP drivers is gimped.
    any ideas?

    What bios ver. do you have? F19A is the current latest and you can get it from the HP support site.

    I personaly use the CCC from 10.2 and display drivers from 10.3 no problems with win 7. It's an other story under xp 64 tho...

    I am using the f19A bios version, and also get the BSOD with the f04 bios that came with the laptop.

    Im running windows 7 ultimate.

    Is there a problem with the laptop? or is it my windows installation?
