I just go to control panel, and uninstall the drivers through the install manager.
Reboot.
Use the AMD driver clean up utility (not for use with windows

Reboot.
Install new drivers.

These drivers seem to be pointed at Crysis 3 and Crossfire.
So I won't be using these.

They could be a bit more descriptive with the changelogs. I mean it would be perfectly ok if they just added "various internal bugfixes" or something like that, because they way it is you'd think they only fixed one issue with one game, which is... weird?

I was almost going nuts because I couldn't get my overclock stable in Crysis 3, apparently it wasn't my fault in the end =)

Only if you don't have an AMD Chipset or SATA Controller, otherwise you risk having your OS unbootable.

Safest option in my situation is Driver Sweeper (or later versions as Fusion). Both Atiman and AMD's utility broke my OS. Your experience may vary.

don't have amd chipset/sata but will avoid it. I'll just do what I always do, uninstall, reboot in safe mode, run driver sweeper/ccleaner, reboot run them again and then install new driver. thanks for the warning btw.

Sadly, didn't rectify my crysis 3 "hangs" in xfire, still suffering from occasional DX_GI_ERROR claptrap. Sad, too, as crossfire performance (especially when combined the unequaled Radeonpro feature set , I.e. dynamic v-sync) has soared in nearly every recent (2 years or so) AAA title I've tested subsequent the splendiferous 12.11 driver.

Currently I am functioned by dual 7970 lightnings running 1125 / 1600 as my Crysis 3 exclusive hyper underclock. Typically stable @ 1300 / 1600 though, unfortunately at x16 & x8 pci-e 2.0 (though its largely irrelevant). I am going to do a sweep of drivers and operate stock clocks, see if it rectifies this sad & frustrating blemish on AMDs quarter-long, incredible driver optimization flip flop we users have been benefactors of.

Do your hangs happen randomly ? and when they do happen every time you try again you freeze at the same spot you previously freezed at lol
with a driver has been recovered ?

thats what happens to me all the bloody time its annoying the **** out of me cause i cant fully enjoy the game.... of are your hangs different, ? mine happen be it stock or oc`d cant be my cards as this issue only happens with crysis 3, hell the open beta i could play without a single crash but see this final release its doing my nut in.
