I recently bought an msi 7870 Twin Frozr and am having some issues with it. Whenever I play games on it, it will randomly decide to crash and the screen will go berserk. Usually the game crashes after that and this is what it looks like when I try to watch videos; opening games is impossible after the crash.

Is this a driver issue or hardware issue? I have tried both 12.10 and 12.11 catalyst, same issue. I have tried underclocking the gpu as well but that doesn't seem to have any effect on stopping this problem either.

Maybe psu? This is my current psu:

Using Phenom II x4 965 3.8ghz (have tried at stock settings, still crashing)

Already used that exact same guide multiple times going back and forth between 12.10 and 12.11beta11.
