Hey everyone,

I recently had a crash on my system while updating my ATI Radeon HD 5450 graphics card. :upset:
This occurred yesterday while updating to Catalyst v13.1, released on Jan 17 2013. Once I start the install, at around mid installation the BSOD appears and restarts my computer. I have since then done a clean install of Windows 8 Pro and it keeps appearing every time I try to update my graphics card. I've had this card for about a year now and with no problems until now.

The crash dump file appears in c:/windows/minidump and will upload it here for anyone who may wish to review it. Thanks! :)

PC SPECS:
Gateway DX
Windows 8 Pro 64bit
AMD Athlon X2 Dual Core 2.7Ghz
6GB DDR2
ATI Radeon HD 5450 1GB
640GB HDD

Hi,

I checked your dmp file again and your missing a bios update.

Current Bios:
BiosVersion = P01-A1
BiosReleaseDate = 04/24/2009


The bios update below relates to updating to a 5 series card:

Hi,

a quick look at your dump file and I noted your trying to install a 32bit driver on a 64bit system.

Try downloading and installing this version:
