7950 problem

So I recently got a new build. I picked all the parts. Let the company put it together. And got it today. So after some time, I run my first game Mount and Blade. It all went smoothly until the game itself started, then the game crashed and a buzzing noise started, I had to restart the computer. I also tried 3DMark2011 which also acted the same way. But games Like Super Meatboy and Minecraft all ran without problems. After some snooping around I downloaded GPU-Z and saw this: http://gyazo.com/d79609dfc3e72ad122b78edd941ac78e
The core clock and everything was at zero. Or nothing at all.
So could anyone tell what could the problem be, I'm using the Latest 12.11 Drivers
Also specs: 7950 Gigabyte Windforce
i5 3570k
Asus p8z77-v lk
I also tried to play without the 7950, the games still crash on Intel HD4000 the same way.
I also have my monitor connected via VGA to the Motherboard, so I can't disable it.
It's all the info I could gather.
Could someone please help me with this problem.

I know the hd7000's power down during long idle (blank screen) to be efficient, but dont think that's quite right
 
They don't go down to zero. I think most AMD cards do drop down their clocks. At least newer ones. Mine throttles down to 400mhz when just running desktop and the internet. It throttles up when gaming though. Memory speed doesn't drop though.

Click to expand...

grom AMD's description i think it turns the graphics card off almost, i know it says secondary cards in crossfire will actually power off the fan and everything, but yeah, this just doesn't seem right. I'm thinking it might be corrupted drivers with the bad readings and messing up in gaming.

Try to uninstall the current drivers, reboot, use driversweeper to completely remove the drivers, then reboot and install the latest drivers straight from AMD's website
 
Agreed. Clean install of drivers is your first step. Also whats your PSU model as FuryRosewood already asked.
 
Seems like that program can't even measure your fanspeed.
You connected additional power cables to the card?
Try measuring your temps,... in catalyst.
Also check the temps of your cpu. (realtemp or coretemp are good programs)
Did you overclock your cpu/gpu?
If yes, remove all overclocks, even if it's from the factory.

2nd problem could be the driver (you said already you're running the 12.11's),
go look into catalyst and see or the drivers are really installed (you can see them information-->software)
