game freeze when there's water or fire
If the “grey colors” you refer to are artifacts, it’s probably the video card overheating or driver acting up. Do you monitor your CPU and GPU temperatures while playing?
yeah but it doesnt go up more than 75-80 degree for both GPU and CPU
Those temperatures are within the limit, but are awfully high, especially the CPU. I would take the side panel off and create some extra airflow (with fans etc), and lowering the temperatures and see if you still see artifacts.
If your CPU/GPU overclocked at all and what power supply are you running this on?
Would also suggest try to limit the fps ingame (30/60) and not set it to unlimited.

they were OCed but when that happened i reset everything back to normal again
ive got a 650 WATT cooler master power supply
note i can run battlefield 3 on high settings at 1080p with over 50 fps with no problem at all .. not a single crash
this problem appeared only on Guildwars 2 and Darksiders 2 as well
Are you forcing any injectors through CCC, like AA, AF and vertical sync?
no just the default settings even in the AMD catalyst driver
It really does feel like a Catalyst problem, make sure you have defaulted the entire CCC, as the newly implemented AA options for Darksiders 2 causes black screen crashes.
i’ll look further into it thanks for your concern anyway
What you described is the video driver crashing and recovering. Coincidentally smoke effects and reflections on full are the most taxing fx.
