Im having major mind babbling problems with my p55a-ud4.

I keep getting "atikmdag.sys" bsods before i can get into windows, and when i format and reinstall Win7 (32/64bit) It always bsods on the final completion stage with the same message

I noticed this when i updated bios from f4 to f9

It seems to always boot fine with safe mode turned on, but since i formatted and reinstalled windows, it wont let me finnish the installation in safe mode, and with safe mode turned off i keep getting this same anoying bsod

I have tried reflashing bios back to f7 but the bios "qflash" utility isnt recognising my corsair flash voyager 8gb usb drive. (which is formatted to fat32 with the bios file on it which was extracted from the zip i d/l from the Gigabyte website)

i was going to flash bios using my old floppy drive.. but i dont have access to any pc's... just laptops without floppy drives

next step is to buy a usb floppy drive to use with a laptop and try flashing bios that way, but even still, could this be a bios problem?

NEED DESPERATE HELP

That will be some component for the graphics card drivers... it'll be getting in to safe mode no problem because it doesn't load the graphics driver, just pure basic drivers etc!

I would uninstall the ATI graphics card driver/CCC whilst in safe mode and attempt booting in to Windows to see if it works... if it does then maybe try an older/different driver :)
 
i cant boot into windows as its not installed, atimdab is installed during windows 7 installation which then bsods during the final stage and i cant finnish the installation in safe mode
