You've suggested clean booting already. and I don't know if I want to do the driver reinstalation.
I have an A8 running Windows Server 2012 at work.
If I find time on Monday.... it's busy as **bleep** right now so don't hold your breathe.. I will test it on that system.
I know the drivers are way out of date and Catalyst doesn't even work right on Server 2012 without tweaks (which I have no done because the purpose of the machine I have no use for it)..
If I find time I will test it on that system to see if it crashes. I have no clue what it'll prove but it's an APU that's similiar to yours and the drivers + OS are stacked against the odds of it working good.
Should I try using the beta version of catalyst?
Couldn't hurt anything.
I'd do the official uninstall method through Control Panel, restart, then install them. If windows tries to update after the restart, I'd just click Skip or better yet disable automatic driver installation

Turn it back on after your done because if you ever plug in like a flash drive or printer or anything... you want it to automatically do it... but it can cause problems when you have your drivers ready to go and windows first wants to throw (god knows what) at it first.
