AMD HD 6900M issues - BSOD

Hi,

it's been two days that i am fighting vs a blue screen error that appears on startup. It's apparently a famous 0x116 atikmpag.sys issue that i have found discussed in a large number of tech sites. The problem clearly points at the display driver (HD 6900 M). I have tried updating the driver, updating Catalyst several times and in several different combinations, but the only thing that works for the moment is to deactivate the display driver. This is not clearly the optimal solution, as it hugely limits performance.

Does anyone out there have any suggestions on how to proceed ? i keep digging in IT forums meanwhile...
