Well I have been playing games on the gfx clocks in my sig, such as COH, Supcom, Dirt and Oblivion. All fairly intensive games and have not had any graphical issues at all. However whenever I load either BF2142 or BF2 on the clocks below as soon as i click join game i get a string of artifact patterns evenly spaced across the screen, not speckling just a constant pattern and the video doesnt load but sound does...As soon as I drop down to stock clocks both games are fine. Now I know this isnt an issue with the overclocks and must be something to do with the engine but it baffles me as to why...(i know i shouldnt be since it is battlefield for gods sake lol). Can anyone shed any light on why this happens and if it has happened to them?

I thought this was well known. BF2 and overclocking do not get on.
My pcie frequency has been set to 101 since I built this pc a couple of weeks ago. Anyway i tried the other frequencies and none of them helped so i guess ill have to drop down to stock clocks whenever i play BF, which is annoying but what can you do. 
BF2/2142 should still play good with the setting though, so why worry. It's a pain in the butt to declock, but hey ho. Depends how often you play bf2/2142 and the other games.
What I think you need is to be using ATi Tray Tools, so you can use profiles for games allowing varying overclocks

Is ati tools bound by the overdrive settings because overdrive only allows up to 900 on the mem
Edit: Seems ati tray tools doesnt allow core above 760

But that is the way it is meant to be played....for ati cards 
In all seriousness, i don't have any problem on any of my systems with the bf2 engine, on numerous graphics cards; fx5600, 8800gtx, x1900, 7600gt, g7950gtx and g7900gtx.

Seems its ATi specific, doesnt really affect me otherwise because i still get 100fps but its quite annoying having to manually change my overclock to stock for one game. And before you say profiles ATT's limits are below my overclock so its quite pointless. Ah well.

ATT has built in o/c limits for saftey but you can change them.
right click the tray icon
tools & options >
general options
advanced tab
overclocking configuration
then either untick 'use overclocking limits' or change the percentages to what you need.

Don't have a problem with my overclocked 7600gt either. Its a nice overclock too
.P.S. dude, i love your sig. The coloured lines look so nice i just want to touch them
Perhaps a silly question, but have you tried deleting the BF2 shader cache after upping the clocks?
(Its in the Battlefield 2 folder in My Documents, delete the whole Mods folder)
I know it tries to optimise the shaders for the currently running setup when it first loads, & changing the clocks may have sent it screwy.
