1) Uninstall AMD Drivers Catalyst 13.1 via Program and Features using Windows. Restart PC
2) After uninstallation , I notice my resolution didn't went down as it suppose to be , it's still at 1920X1080 , MSI Afterburner still is running , GPU-Z too is able still detect my AMD Driver Catalyst 13.1
3) Restart PC again, boot up in Safe Mode , used Driver Sweeper to clean all AMD Drivers ( This is the one I used from Guru3D )

4) Restart PC, after Windows 7 Welcome screen, I got a BSOD, and just few seconds later it auto restarts itself
5) Boot up into Safe Mode again, used AMD Catalyst Un-install Utility, to clean all AMD Drivers again.
6) Restart PC, past Windows 7 Welcome screen. Everything was fine, resolution was low as it suppose to be.
7) Installs new AMD Catalysts Driver 13.9, so everything is fine now, so far.

So guys the thing is, I would like a more clear picture what I did wrong, which caused me a BSOD on boot up at first ?? So I can avoid this mistake again in the future and also fix it.
Is AMD Catalyst Un-install Utility safe to use ? I did see some comments saying they had problems after using it.
But so far It's fine now for me.
