It's possible your gpu voltages are too high, aka unstable, even at stock. I was having similar problems with the 6800xt, although they were rare. Undervolted it with MorePowerTool, and haven't had any issues since.

I have been thinking about that, actually. Adrenaline does have an undervolt option, so I'll give that a go first. If that doesn't work, I'll absolutely try More PowerTool.

TBH, higher voltages and clocks with the 7900XTX are only good for benchmarks and real world performance gains are not that noticable. (I could only get between 100-200 point gains on Kombustor) Undervolting is probably going to be good for the longevity of the card anyway.
