Hi
I've had multiple "drivers stopped responding and has recovered" issues for many games and occasional BSOD's with "stop 0x00000116 and atikmpag.sys" errors.
Some games doesn't have sound like Fallout 4, This war of mine and Metro 2033 redux, I have reinstall all of them and verified game caches with no luck.
Iv'e done plenty of "fixes" (se below) and i'm out of ideas. Is the card failing?

PC Specs

Win 7 64bit
Motherboard MSI Z77 MPower (MS-7751)
i5-3570K 3.40
8GB RAM
AMD Radeon HD 7950 3GB
1920 x 1080 HDMI cable

What i've done so far(not in order)
- Uninstalled and made a clean install using radeon-crimson-relive-16.12.2
- Used DDU in safe mode and a clean install using radeon-crimson-relive-16.12.2
- SFC.exe/scannow with no errors
- Expand.exe atikmdag.sy_ atikmdag.sys using this guide: http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=363233
- Disabled hardware acceleration
- Furmark stress test for 20 min and no problems
- Temperature is around 30°C (86°F) idle and 60-66°C (140-150°F) underload and I got same results during Furmark.
- Updated Bios, realtek and DirectX and did all the above once again
- TDR fix using this guide https://community.amd.com/thread/180166
- HDD error search in win7
- Memory test without errors

Dont worry mine's either.
Do format the HDD and make a clear install of Windows. I know its a bit troublesome but you can always back up your most important files...

It is extremly normal on those series of AMD cards... They are way too unstable and very poorly designed.
I suggest to Clean Format the PC to secure nothing else is causing the troubles... Then install the AMD drivers then download the games you playing without installing anti virus or any other programs and see what happends...
