Have you checked your temperatures? Also, have you updated your drivers? If your newer drivers are giving you problems, use an older driver.

Also, please list out your computer specs, including power supply unit and how much watts it gives.

You may also want to try the 12.6 Beta drivers if you get the chance. Also let me know your temperature when the issue happens.

download hwmonitor

Run it, and you can alt-tab while the game is on. You can then see your temps, hopefully.
