Problems with my 7850

Greetings! so I have been having problems with my MSI 7850, I ordered it around Christmas time and within the first few weeks I noticed that sometimes it would underclock itself for no apparent reason. This meant that games which would normally run at 55-60 fps would now run at 8-12 fps, it happens every few weeks, usually I few restarts will solve it but more often than not I have to leave the PC off for a few hours for it to correct itself.

I think the temps are fine at 45c idle and no higher than 60 under load, I've tried various versions of the catalyst drivers to rectify the problem but alas to no avail.

My question is does anyone have any suggestions or is it going to have to be RMA'd? Obviously I can provide any other information that may necessary.
