So Mitch, lemme ask you this:

Ever since I upgraded to 8.1, I've had major problems with 1.) my AMD display driver randomly failing/recovering/notifying me of this sequence of events, 2.) greatly reduced battery life and performance speed, and 3.) whenever I shut down the computer, every time I turn it back on I get an error message about having to recover the system because of a THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER error.

I see online that many other people have had this problem, and many different fixes have been suggested for it. I have done everything suggested on the various help threads, and it's still a problem. AMD doesn't even claim to make drivers for Win 8, though I never had a problem before I upgraded to 8.1.

So can I revert back to regular 8.0, and/or will 8.1 Update 1 fix this problem?
