The Dell drivers are only for Vista x32, I use 7 x64

 

If the cause is really due to the modified DELL drivers your laptop needs, that there is the problem.

So, the ATI driver on my gaming laptop keeps crashing. I use Catalyst 10.02 legacy.

It's a ATI Radeon Xpress 1150. It's running at its stock 300MHz. All the yellow warnings in the event manager are the driver crashing, you can see how it gets old quickly.

like the mr guy said above me said please get and upgrade 

the error is mostlikely caused by the amd drivers fucking up or the gpu coming to an end

It's not the GPU, it works fine in Linux

Yep, many times, even tried reformatting and tried using Windows 8.1 it's all the same!

then try using an earlyer version of the driver something like 10.2 or just 10

Depending on who is the manufacturer of the laptop, the GPU probably MUST use the drivers provided by the laptop manufacturer -- the drivers are modified specifically for it. In that case, the drivers from AMD will not work properly.

What kind of laptop do you have? As someone above me said, you need to get the drivers from the website of your laptops manufacturer. They are likely modified to be compatible. 

 

Also, check the link in my siggy and try that method for removing the drivers properly. Perhaps you aren't removing all of the driver fragments. 

I am whatever I am.

How can you tell if the drivers are modified?

(edit: the drivers seem to have x64 files, so i'll try it. also, this laptop is surprising, I can play music on soundcloud and browse chrome pretty smooth with a lot of tabs, and I'm rendering a DVD at 100% CPU usage for like 2 hours now and the CPU is only at 65c and it's barely audible)

So, abusing the drivers with device manager to install them on my 64 bit OS worked and now it doesn't seem to crash

well there you go problem solved :D
