brand new V2 crashes my HP

[catman3126]

That has to be what's going on because this laptop has never worked right since I got it with EFI. So do I have to change something when I start my laptop to start it up as a admin?

It should present you with a login window.

when i start it it just has the password screen and when I type it in it doesn't have a place to log in as admin or any other options.

Well none of this worked i unistalled EFI v7 and v8 reinstalled as admin and then installed the old driver as admin and when i connected the v2 the first couple times it works like normal. then on the third time I conected the v2 here came the blue screen again. so pretty much tried everything and nothing has worked. so I'm thinking something is wrong with my new laptop and called dell and they said for 240$ they would take a look at it I said no thanks. so anyone have any other ideas? thanks for all the help.

Incredible.. i had fixed this and now all of the sudden same thing happening. PC is still forcing the same newer driver....

This is whats happening to me, once I uninstall the driver and select to install the old driver the v2 cn be connectedc once or twice and then about the third time I goto connect it it crases so it must be the pc forcing the new driver to install when i connect my V2, I have sat here with the v2 connected for a half hour and it seems fine. but the third time i disconnect and reconnect it, it crashes. I have doen the F8 and disabled the signature and that doesn't help I have uninstalled the v7/v8 programs and saved them to the desktop and installed them as admin and that hasnt helped and I have ran USB installer as admin and that hasn't worked. so I'm out of options at this point. really hate to take this to a pro shop to pay them to figure it out I'm sure there is something I'm missing. Any ideas?

I'm not sure how, but you have to disable the Windows program that automatically updates drivers.

Crap so now what do I do I wonder? Anybody?

Ok so for shits and grins I decided to install the newer version of the Efi Live drivers and tried it and it worked like it should, the old version of the drivers crashes and the newer versions fixes the problem. atleast on my windows 7 anyway. hope this works for anyone else who has this issue.
