Graphic card crashing, HELP

Hi, my AMD Radeon 7970 HD (Gigabyte) crashes from games that run on higher graphics (such as the new Batman, Splintercell, Crysis, etc) and I am looking for a solution.

I get this message:

Display driver amdkmdap stopped responding and has recovered

I looked it up but most of the solutions say "update your drivers" and I did that but it isn't working. Other say to modify my voltage but I don't want to mess with that as I have no idea what I should do there.

My PC is also running on Vista Ultimate because I never got to install W7 on this one (lol), but I doubt that would be the reason the graphics card crashes.

Thanks

Did you try disabling all visual effects or trying the beta drivers?

Is it still under warranty? Probably easiest way to handle this.

It happened to me occasionally when I had 2-3 1080p+ streams on and TF2 at once (fixed by disabling hardware acceleration). Would crash flash and the menus would be completely green until I refreshed the page. Ended up turning off my overclock and had less issues, though I doubt you are.

Happened to me when I was building my pc, ended up uninstalling the drivers, restarting and then reinstalling the betas and it worked. If you have a program like msi afterburner you could monitor the gpu usage and temps, it could be overheating.
