I have a gigabyte HD radeon 7770 OC that is just a couple months old and have been having problems running games (mostly Guild Wars2). The issue is sometimes the game will freeze to a black screen and then resume after a few seconds and other times it will freeze and then crash to desktop with no visable errors. (this happens with all games but is most frequent in Guild Wars 2).

I have tried whiping the drivers with driver fusion and reinstaling fresh new ones from AMD's site. Then I've tested the beta drivers to see if that was the problem and it turns out those don't work either. 

To confirm this is an issue with this card I have replaced it with my old Sapphire Radeon HD 5770 and that didn't crash atall...

Please help.
