Regular minidumps, maybe ATI card related

$

I am running Windows 7. A couple of weeks ago I installed an old video card (ATI FireGL 5200) in order to connect a third monitor. The other card is Nvidea GTX 550 Ti. Since then I have had at least 1 minidump a day. I first disabled and later physically removed the card but the crashes continued. It appears as though a modification windows, made most likely the driver installation, remains the source of the problem even after removing the card. I found the atikmdag driver in the driver folder and deleted it. I also ran the DH driver cleaner which found registry entires for the ati card. This did not stop the crashes which frequently occur while online. I found information on line that references an ATI catalyst control panal, but searches for this came up empty. Perhaps this is installed with a 3rd party driver, in my case Windows installed the driver itself , which may be outdated.

I would like to delete the package from driverstore just to be absolutely sure but have not been able to. Primarily because I cannot recognize it, or it doesn’t display using the pnputil.exe –e command.
It is entirely possible this has nothing do with the ATI card Or that packages in driver store couldn't possibly be responsible for the crashes. But I’m suspicious that of the fact that the driver package is not enumerated by pnputil.exe
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thank you

Lagado
