So ive been trying to overclock my GPU for performance gains and it doesn't seem to want to overclock... at all. Whenever i try to overclock my card my system crashes almost immediately even for the most basic settings. The card's stock settings are 900 MHz GPU core clock, and 1250 MHz memory clock. Even if i try a mere 50 MHz overclock on the core alone my system immediately freezes and crashes, even additions of the voltage E.g. 2-10% don't change the result. I know its not other components in my computer because my old NVIDIA GTX 295 which has a much higher TDP, and also runs much hotter managed a decent overclock. Ive heard of the HD 7950s having problems but ive also seen people getting very good overclocking settings as well E.g. 1165 MHz. i feel i should definitely be getting at least 150 MHz overclock on the core considering it doesn't get that hot, 36C idle and around 50-60C under load. But the heat cant even be the issue since the card crashes immediately when i overclock (heat wouldn't be able to get it over its thermal limit that quickly). i have tried different programs to test its overclocking setting like Valley Benchmark and various AAA titles. i also have random moments where my AMD driver fails then recovers itself about 2 seconds later leaving me with slight unresponsiveness at times, i know this because an icon in the bottom left corner pops up and says"AMD Driver has failed and recovered". Please help!
