Installing graphic card drivers kill windows

Question

Dear all,
It all started when the computer suddenly turned off. On turning it on again, it wouldn't enter Windows. It stayed forever (>24h) in the screen "loading windows". Entering in the recovery mode, none of the offered options would help (no restore points working, no recovery function working, no automatic repair.... nothing).
I decided to recover my important files and go for a total cleaning. So I used the Knoppix Live CD to enter with Knoppix into the computer and save all my files in an external disk. Then I used the Windows 7 Live CD to reinstall windows 7 from scratch, saving nothing from the previous installed OS, and formating the hard drive, and even joining all partitions in one.
Windows 7 Home Premium was installed successfully with the original Product Key. Then, I downloaded all drivers for the dv6-6193es from the support.hp.com website (a total of 48 drivers) and installed them all sequentially.
From the 48 drivers, 40 are installed successfully, 6 don't manage to install (see list below, although I suspect it's not really important) and 2 of them return me back to the original problem: sp53025 and sp55092. These two drivers are related to the AMD RADEON graphics card.
After installing sp53025 driver, and restarting the computer as required for the installation to be completed, the windows would not load and would get stuck in the "loading" page forever. I manually turned off the computer and with the Windows 7 Live CD restarted the whole process (format, reinstall Win 7, re-install all drivers from the beginning, skipping sp53025...). Until I reached sp55092, and again the exact same problem. This time, I had created a restoration point which luckily could be restored from the Win7 Live CD so I could go back to the moment before installing sp55092.
What is the problem? Is the graphics card dead?
Just for reference, the other 7 drivers that could not be installed are the following:
sp52473 - "The computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software"
sp53402 - "This softpaq will not be installed because HP Recovery Manager cannot be found in your system."
sp54471 - "The computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software"
sp55063 - "El hardware Bluetooth debe estar activado para ejecutar este paquete de instalación"
sp55093 - "Fresco Logic USB3 Host Controller is not found!"
sp68351 - "Softpaq does not apply to the system, no HP Recovery Manager installed."
PS: in addition, this message window pops up every time I turn the computer on:
Any feedback and/or help on my problem will be highly appreciated!

This could be good advice. But does that mean I should ignore the updates that windows and ATI's built-in driver update finds? If so do you have a link to the URL of the legitimate drivers? That would be greatly appreciated. That way I can test your theory and possibly salvage the machine.
Yes, don't use Windows Update for the Switchable graphics update. Only use HP driver site for switchable graphics drivers. And disable ATI/AMD update to prevent those updates. Put this way if you don't see that switchable graphics update on HP then don't update it-they tested and configured it for the stablility and updating it without confirming that the update is a verified it is for switchable graphics.
