So I have just updated my r9 290x driver to the new 14.1. The first time I ran any games it worked great. Now whenever I try to play something it will just freeze after a couple of seconds. For example: in BF4 it will load the game then as soon as it is done and I come to the deploy menu, after a few seconds the game freezes and all sound stops. I don't have to restart the computer, I just have to ctrl+alt+del to open the task manager and shut it down, but after retrying, same thing?

I haven't personally run into any problems with the 14.1 beta drivers but you have to keep in mind they are beta. I would suggest reporting the issues to AMD since I'm sure you can't be the only one having some sort of problem.

It turns out as you said a few people with the 290x have been having this problem. After doing some reading on more forums, someone did find a solution or a fix. For anyone else with this problem:

Go to your Task Manager (or in your search box type msconfig and click on it)
Click on the Start Up Tab
Find the Catalyst Control Center Launcher and DISABLE it.
