I got BSOD under 7 64bit and Vista 32bit, the dump file was from 32bit vista

I still think it's something related to the BIOS configuration of the onboard videocard or maybe try to do a BIOS downgrade. BBL, 10x

I flashed the latest BIOS already, and it indeed came with the latest BIOS, alright would try that

Tried to downgrade bios from F10 to F5, same issue

Wow.. Even BSOD on Vista????

Okay, how about this.. Go into the BIOS and reset everything to the factory defaults.

If you can get some screenshots of the BIOS settings before you reset them, grab some and post here. I can help look at them.

Actually I tried that also.

Right after I downgraded the BIOS, the PC wouldn't boot, then I realized I have to clear CMOS, and that's exactly what I did.

So now, it's literally at factory defaults, even clock and time is reset.

Which BIOS settings do you want

[Adrian Wong]

If you can, just take photos of all of the BIOS pages so we can have a look at the settings you are using right now.

What monitor do you use and is connected on DVI or D-Sub? From the dmp file the culprit is indeed atikmdag.sys.

I tried both DVI and D-sub, same error.

Take a look here, it might not be entirely your case but it will worth a try.

I came across that before, I believe the whole issues lies within the motherboard, why should I be going through all this hassle for a new motherboard?

I read that forum, on Vista, the error occured right after I installed CCC, which means that driver is the issue, but what should I do about it?

I plan to run Windows 7, and windows 7 comes with ATI drivers bundled which pops that BSOD straight away

I'll go back to the distributor on Tuesday.

Thanks guys for all your assistance, I will still post up the BIOS just incase if some configuration could help it.

Btw, it's such a disappointment, if that motherboard gets replaced this Tuesday, it would be the FOURTH same motherboard within a year

Still you're not the only one with the same problem, not that should give you any comfort, and it's not related to the same motherboard/video card. Users with nVidia cards or other motherboards experienced the same problem with Vista and Windows 7. In another way it also should be a manufacturer problem because they stick a Vista or W7 certified logo on their product and that product is a mess!

Will you be so kind and post your system specs including the PSU? And the complete error code from BSOD! A screenshot would be enough. Also search for a debuglog.txt on your hdd.
