I've been running a Sapphire HD5770 since around the time they launched. I started running 11.4 a couple weeks ago with not a single problem playing any games (CoD Black Ops, BF:Bad Company 2, others).
Two days ago, I upgraded to a Sapphire HD 6950 2GB, after a proper uninstall/reinstall of the 11.4 drivers. Now the GPU driver hardlocks my PC with the sound stuck stuttering within 15-20 minutes of gaming.
Card is completely stock (no overclocking, no attempts to mess with BIOS), system has been completely stable, never locked up on me before.
System specs are:
Antec Mini P180 | EVGA E652 P55 Micro SLI | i5-750 / AC Freezer7Pro | 8GB Corsair XMS3 1600MHz 9-9-9-24 2T @1.65v | Sapphire Radeon HD6950 2GB | Corsair 650HX | Win7x64 Pro | Dell U2211H & Sony KDL32XBR9 | 120GB Intel X25M-G2 SSD and 2TB WD20EARS | Win7x64
GPU temps all seem within normal ranges: Max temps were 70-72C per GPU-Z. In fact, here are the last few rows of the log file before it last locked up a short while ago while playing BF:BC2:
CPU/mobo temps are in the 40s-50s Celcius under load, idles in the mid to high 30s, which is the same range they were in with the HD5770. Voltages are stable. Everything appears to be just fine except trying to play BF:BC2 for more than ~15-30 minutes.
Going to try 11.3 and then 11.2 if no other suggestions.
Thanks.

Please let me know if you can identify any problems, or if this is a known bug that will be fixed in 11.5 or a hotfix. (I was able to find several threads on other hardware forums noting lockups with 11.4 and 6900 series cards in Bad Company 2 similar to what I am experiencing but no known fix).Date , GPU Temperature [°C] , GPU Load [%] , GPU Temp. #1 [°C] , GPU Temp. #2 [°C] , GPU Temp. #3 [°C] , 12V [V] , VDDC [V] , VDDC Current [A] , VReg Temperature 1 [°C] , VReg Temperature 2 [°C] ,
