Can't play the game; freezes on startup

Yes try the beta first, it might be AMD's fault after all once more.

If you indeed go with a format I'm pretty sure it will work great afterwards. Don't install any other programs at first except the drivers. Install steam and amnesia and give it a try. If the problem persists then we can rule out operating system. So it will then be either an AMD driver issue or a defected graphics card that appears to have problems with certain games.

By the way, if you have an SSD install the operating system at that drive and leave steam and games at the HDD. That's because games do not benefit from SSD's (only at loading) but the OS does greatly.
