MSI HD 6950 2gb TwinForzIII Overclocking, making skyrim crash

Hey all I was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this, whenever I have the OC turned on my GPU, Skyrim would play for like a min then the screen would freeze, but wont freeze the whole computer. I could still Ctrl+Alt+Del and I could manually turn skyrim off. Also I run Skyrim on Ultra with everything maxed out at 1920X1080.

I have the card oc'd to 900/1375 up from stock. And I used MSI afterburner. Also I dont have CCC, but I did install the driver straight from the AMD website.

My system spec are:

• Intel core i7 2600k at stock
• G skill Ripjaw X 8gb
• Asrock extreme 7 gen 3
• OCZ Agility 3 SSD
• Western Digital 500gb 7200rpm (This is where Skyrim is installed)
• MSI HD 6950 2gb TwinForzIII
• Rosewill 1000watt lightning series Psu
• LG 22 inch 1080p monitor

Edit: Oh also I just want to point out that the game doesnt crash if I have the OC turned off. I am just wondering if the game is just really sensitive to OC, because I have used MSI kombuster for over an hour with these clocks and it didnt hang or freeze then.

Hey man I'm having the EXACT same issue. All I know is they need to make new drivers to correct this issue. I haven't thought about turning the OC off, maybe I'll try that tonight and see if I can get it to work.

My issue is the game will freeze or go to a black screen or a screen with lines and I have to manually shut off the computer. Don't know what's going on there.

i tried everything to get skyrim running and not freezing crashing every 5 mins Eventually i down clocked my msi 6950 2gb twin foz 3 to 1200mem clock by 800 core clock instead of the 1300 850 preset clock settings since then i havent had 1 single crash hope this helps anyone with this card .
