So at heavy loads at stock OC the AMD Radeon Program crashes and blacks out my monitors for a minute and come back. But when I OC the GPU to 1335 MHz, the AMD Radeon Program does not crash at heavy loads. Why would this happen? I got the temp to never go over 65c. So it cannot be overheating.

Do you have the Power Limit in the Adrenalin control panel set to +50 (or the highest +value your card has)? And your computer power plan set to 'high performance?

AMD graphics performance

This is Stock settings: (Where it crashes if at 100% Activity)

This is my OC Setting: (Does Not Crash with these settings)

Your card is throttling under high load/power draw...as it's designed to. AMD graphics performance

"Your AMD graphics card has a Power Limit setting in Overdrive. The default setting is 0. That is a power saving (electricity)  setting that throttles your card when it begins to draw more power...like when your gaming. Enabling Overdrive and Raising the Power Limit to it's Highest + value (currently +50 or +20 depending on the card) Disables this throttling feature. It is not overclocking, it just allows the card to perform to its maximum capabilities."

Try removing all your overclocking and any other changes you made...use the 'restore factory defaults' (I prefer to reinstall the drivers,but).

In the game profile > profile Wattman  > raise the Power Limit to its Max +value (+50,etc) Don't touch any other setting. CLICK APPLY

Your temperature settings are way off..but that's another story.
