I managed to solve the problem with AMD graphics cards (tested on a mobility radeon HD 5470).
First download and install the AMD graphics driver for Windows 8, the screen should go blank. Wait until there is no HDD activity (should mean it has installed) then hard reset (hold the power button until it switches off and switch it back on).
While the laptop is starting hold shift and mash F5 to get to recovery options (should see please wait under the loading ring on the windows splash screen) then click "see advanced repair options"
On the next screen click troubleshoot then advanced options.Then we need to click Windows startup settings, then restart.
You should get a screen asking what you want to do, press 4 for safe mode (why does it have to be so much work?)
In safe mode open device manager and disable the intel graphics adapter and restart, you should restart on your fully working AMD/ATI card, check dxdiag to make sure.
Sorry if this is hard to follow, lemme know if it is and I will retype it.
