7950 Overclocking problem

[TheGamingGeneral]

Straight to the point, whenever I touch the voltage (at all) my game instantly crashes and get a message ''amd display driver has stopped working and recovered''. This only started happening when I put the card in my new build (before I could clock the hell out of it and it didnt mind). Temps dont seem to be an issue, I have the problem on both bios switches, and similar to voltage, if I clock the memory or GPU clock beyond, say, 1000Mhz core and 1250Mhz memory it crashes aswell. I would just leave and settle with that being the limit, but as said it was running way beyond this before I put my new PC together so was wondering if anyone can suggest something I may of missed? I have had two complete fresh installs of Windows and still get this issue and used several different driver versions, again all with same problem.

Spec:

Saphire 7950 OC edition
Asus Z77 Sabertooth
Intel Core i5 3570k (OC to 4.3Ghz)
Corsair 1000W
16GB DDR3 memory
Samsung 830 256GB SSD
(dont think the rest matters)

Thanks

Do you have the atipdlxx.dll file in program files\MSI afterburner? For whatever reason it doesn't come with the latest versions of AB and seems to kill overclocking on 79xx cards.

Doesnt look like it, I take it I can just download older drivers that have this file? Do you know what was the last driver that had it?
