I brought this HD7970 Lightning 3 days ago, my problem is if i try to run any! game with 1070 MHZ core clock the game freezes and i get that message "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered " but if i turn the core clock down to 1000mhz everything is fine :x Any ideas? i allrdy tried out various drivers for this and still nothing.

My System:
i5 4570S
8GB 1600mhz ram
MSI HD7970 Lightning
Thermaltake Hamburg 530W
 
Get a new PSU. That Thermaltake unit is a Tier 5 "replace immediately" model and is almost guaranteed to be causing voltage issues. Download and run HWinfo. Select the "sensors" option. Take a screenshot of the voltages section. Fire up a game and take a screenshot of the voltages section if you can. Post screenshots of the sensors.
