For starting, Afterburner is crashing the pc. I think that is some program open that makes it crash. I don't know what it is. Just now it crashed trying to see the OC I made. I had open Chrome and watching a youtube stream. I think it's youtube (when a video is open) that is crashing.

Now, when it doesn't crash, I has able to OC my gpu (R7 260x) to:
Power Limit +15%
Core Clock 1320MHz
Memory Clock 1800MHz (all maxed out except the power limit)

With that set up, I tested it with FurMark, and it worked OK. No crashes. Went from 2197 points to (with the OC) 2454.

"Ok, now, will I get more performance in game?"

HOW ABOUT A ERROR? BF3 opened, played for some seconds (after the loading), and it froze, with an error, saying: "DirectX function "GetDeviceRemovedReason" failed with XFGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG: Device due badly formed commands.. GPU: "AMD Radeon R7 200 Series", Driver: 14.4 (14.10.1006-140417a-171099C)"

Any help is appreciated :D

BTW, when I restart the PC after the crash (windoes 8.1), my desktop is all messy (the icons, this is)

BTW2: When I close afterburner, what settings stay applied, the regular or the OC settings if I apply them? - I know now, tested again, I didn't work, so the last settings applied stay

My best advice would be Google and see if anybody else is having problems with bf3 on your current drivers and maybe update/rollback them. Also if MSI Afterburner is crashing on you reinstalling usually does the fix
