AMD Catalyst 14.1

The new (beta) driver is out.  I have not yet tried using it with BF4, but it has been stable for daily use.  I've played Skyrim and Civilization V with it and it seems to run smoothly.  It is probably a placebo effect, but Skyrim seems to suffer fewer stutters.  Could be frame pacing?

Overall, my system has been quite stable for about a week now.  There have been several minor application crashes (Windows Logon User Interface Host and the Search Indexer) that have not affected anything else.

The dust seems to have settled...  BIOS update, driver updates and new RAM seem to have done the trick!

[edit]

Including the overclocking, and new RAM...
