I got a new Radeon 7970 a couple months back and have been quite happy with it up until this issue. It has never had any issues playing any games. Tomb Raider at Max, Guild Wars 2 at max. But when I try to launch Minecraft from the Minecraft Launcher 1.3.10 I see the main menu and then my Display Driver stops responding. My screen will then go black for ~5 seconds and then Minecraft will just be black and is unresponsive. I've tried updating the drivers to newest (obviously)... I've done countless searches but have come up with nothing.
Has anyone come across this issue? If so... is there a fix?
EDIT: I just tried Minecraft v1.5.2 and it works fine. Any version above that I get the unresponsive driver.
EDIT: Just fully tried Minecraft v1.5.2 and the menu works, however as soon as the game actually starts I get the unresponsive driver.
