Here's the deal, whenever I'm playing the game will sometimes freeze up for a few seconds and come back, and in event viewer it's the "AMD Display driver has stopped responding and successfully recovered.' It will usually do this twice, anywhere from twice in one minute, or twice in 30 minutes, then the computer will BSOD with this message:

Sometimes I can play for several hours without it happening, then all of a sudden it happens. Most recently it happened twice on the game menu, which it has never done before. And it doesn't happen when it's under load, it can be something as simple as turning a flashlight on in an empty room, or sitting in base looking around. When there's 24 people fighting at once and my frame rate actually takes a drop it has never occured.
I've tried all kinds of silly stuff suggested by the display driver crash, disabling hardware acceleration, not having fire fox up while playing, using an old version of flash, rolling back video card drivers, using different BIOS versions. I've checked DXdiag and it is all up to date, Windows is up to date, I've updated audio/chipset drivers. Right now I am reinstalling NS2 to see if that has an effect.
My in game settings are 1080p, medium textures, no SSAO, no AA, no anisotropic filtering, no texture filtering. I get around 60-80 FPS. Video temps never above 60*C.
Video card is a MSI Twin Frozr 7850, I've tried playing with both MSI afterburner overclock settings enabled and disabled, and the crashing occurs with both.
No other game but NS2 causes this; Arma 2, Metro 2033, Napoleon Total War, etc.. all run fine without issues.
Does anyone have any ideas? This is pretty annoying.

I should also mention I did try raising idle core clock speed and actually got worse. Reinstalling did nothing, as expected.
