2.8 fails to run on work PC

I’ve been using blender prior to 2.8 on my work PC with no problems. I believe 2.8 beta worked fine also, but the official 2.8 fails to run and shows this message in the command line:

C:\blender 2.80>blender.exe
AL lib: (EE) UpdateDeviceParams: Failed to set 48000hz, got 44100hz instead
Error : EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION
Address : 0x0000000069BF77F0
Module : C:\Windows\system32\atio6axx.dll

C:\blender 2.80>

I don’t expect the developers to support specialty cases of PCs, but I was just wondering if there is something i can do to fix this (maybe a graphicall build or something). Thanks.

Computer specs:
Intel i7 - 2600 @ 3.4GHz
8.00 GB RAM
AMD Radeon HD 6350 graphics
64-bit windows 7, service pack 1
Blender 2.8 64-bit downloaded off of blender.org as a ZIP

According to the error, it seems like a memory access error in the graphics driver, contact your sys admin and ask for a driver update. If already running latest driver, consider trying a roll-back to an earlier version.

If that doesn’t help, submit a bug report. Though there is a chance that the issue is still with the amd/ati drivers.
