    So, I updated to 8.1, and now always when I lock my tablet, and then unlock (time is not a factor here), there is a black screen right after I unlock, which stays that way for 5 or so seconds. Afterwards, there is a notification saying that the display driver stopped responding. Any fix on that? I can't find any 8.1 drivers for the Clovertrail GPU (GMA3600 I think, as it's PowerVR 545 based), so they can't be updated at the moment. And I can't find anyone else with that issue.

    Also, the page on Google is crooked, the formatting is odd, as in, the whole page is formatted by 2 words. Any fix on that as well?

    Exact same situation as you. Unfortunately I've found no solution either.

    I also have issues typically when going to PC setting (is it named that in English? Go to Start Menu (tiles), swype from right and choose the lowest item). Sometimes graphic driver crashed other times it shows heavily distorted graphics. Can sometimes be corrected by swyping down as if you want to close it but regrets then it gets redrawn properly.
    Totally annoying :(
