Windows 8.1 Not Playing Nice

I myself am running 7, but a few of my guild mates recently have updated to 8 and subsequently 8.1 with less than stellar results - all their games crash as soon as any measurable stress is put on the graphics card. Dota 2, LoL, WoW and more all affected.

They're all using AMD on the latest version of Catalyst (13.11), which is still in Beta and we've been through the process of removing drivers > driver sweeper > reinstall latest drivers to no avail.

So, I guess this is a general warning for anyone with 8... leave the update to 8.1 a while if you're the least bit unsure you'll be able to put it right if it goes wrong :D
