SWTOR causing display driver to crash and then blue screen

Hey, I'm a long time swtor player and I've recently booted up to try and play the game and within seconds of loading up the character selection screen, the game freezes, the screen turns black, I can still hear audio playing, sometimes the screen will reappear with the loading screen and windows will say Radeon driver has crashed and recovered, then it blacks out again and then I get a blue screen. This happens on my desktop AND laptop (Mircrosoft Surface book).

My desktop is running windows 7 with the latest radeon drivers. I've tried clean uninstalling my graphics driver and installing it again. I've tried uninstalling swtor and then installing it again. But I get the same issue. It doesn't happen on any of my other games which are pretty graphics intense so I can only assume it's swtor that's being tempermental. Has anyone encountered these issues before? Please help T.T

    *doctor oggurobb voice* HAHA! it's working. I downloaded the very latest version of radeon crimson and clicked CLEAN install which must have destroyed all the bits and bobs AMD have left in my pc over the years. the new driver seems to be working ok. I also changed the TdrDelay in my registry to 8 to give the gpu more time to do its thing. not sure what did the trick but so far so good.
