Well, saying that your computer is "glitching" doesn't really help us answer the question. In what way is it "glitching"? Are you getting artifacts or is the game freezing perhaps? You need to be more specific.

Your gpu is most likely overheating in that case. I think you should try installing GPU-Z and running the game and then after experiencing these artifacts alt-tab out and check the GPU-Z performance log on the temperature on your gpu. In fact you can actually check a box which will get your temps down on a notepad log. After doing this get back to me.

Your power supply is sufficient for that GPU so that shouldn't really be affecting it. You've tried reverting to the previous working version of catalyst correct?

Also can you save vbios and put send a link after uploading it on a filesharing service if possible?

It could very well have been a driver issue causing your artifacts seeing as how you apparently weren't overheating at all. I say just stick with your current driver until a newer one comes out or possibly until you know that the issue has been cleared up with any new driver you wish to use. I think that you should be fine to operate but if your issue arises again I wouldn't suggest continuing on using it and instead come back to the forum to request further help.
