Try switching to different drivers... newer is usually better but on some older systems, older might help more.

ATI Drivers: Advanced Micro Devices Inc.

Be sure to use the correct drivers. For instance, you have a 5700 series and you may either be running 32-BIT or 64-BIT. You can find out which easily by right clicking the Computer link in your start menu and clicking properties. The details about the operating system can be found there. Here are the individual links to the latest drivers for 32 and 64 bit.

64: http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_ca...indows-7-64bit

Also, you may want to follow this tutorial on asking questions about BSOD if you're having them.

This is a TDR problem, update your video drivers

Common issues that can cause a TDR:
- Bad memory
- Insufficient/problematic PSU
- Corrupt driver install
- Overheating
- Unstable overclocks (GPU or CPU)
- Incorrect MB voltages (generally NB/SB)
- Faulty graphics card

Things to check first:

- Run memtest (memtest.org). This should complete with NO errors.
- Check your PSU ratings. Is it providing enough power, and most importantly enough Amps on the 12V rail.
- Check temperatures. Its important you check these at load, which is generally when a TDR event will occur. Cleaning your system of dust can help temperatures significantly. Common sense will normally tell you if something is too hot, but if you aren't sure, the information is generally available online.
- Test with stock clocks. This includes memory, CPU and GPU (even factory OC'd cards). Best to try each separately so you can be sure if one solves the issue.
- Try graphics card/cards in another computer if you can.

the pc store actually seemed to think that it was an error with the graphics card so they have replaced it a few days ago and I have not had the error since. I will monitor it and see how I go though.
