I have a Sapphire rhadeon 7850. It can run almost any game on highest quality. So I purchased Crysis the original off steam and attempted to run it at Very high settings. After about 10 mins the graphics card crashed. So I had to downgrade it to High. After about a day playing on high it begun to crash on high as well. I now can only run it on medium. Today it crashed while I was playing Planetside2 and it has never don't that before. And just a few minutes ago it crashed while I was playing saints row 3. I believe I have the latest drivers and I don't know exactly what to do in the amd catalyst. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Any suggestions would be helpfull.

Try the following things:
Uninstall and go through a Clean Re-install of your graphics drivers.
Download HWmonitor or your choice of GPU tempreature monitoring tool and see what type of Temps you are getting while playing games. Overheating will definitely make a GPU crash. (If it is overheating, go ahead and thoroughly clean your GPU. )
What is the rest of your computer setup?
What resolution do you play these games at?

As Blkfx1 Said
with more added to it
open the Side panel of the Pc and Link it down to the Post
Do u live in a hot sided country?
Does your graphics card have enough space?
are the all the fans working perfectly on the graphics card
if this is gonna persist if u want keep the side panel open and use an extra fan for cooling else Go to Msi afterburner and increase the fan speed or decreace the mem clock and core clock

29C is actually really cool for a GPU when playing games. Is this idle temperatures or during game?

sorry to say but that temperature is all of idle start up a game and stress the graphics card
unless he actualy watercools I doubt he will even get that close not even with watercooling u get that low on games

when I see those numbers on increace performance on Battlefield 3 I feel like Amd are on the right track
on the Graphics card and Budget Componments like Cpus that is I still would prefer an i5-3570k but for my likings I dont really give alot of notice to the graphics exept Skill effects and Terrain so A normal phenom x4 would do me magics with a little boost of a radeon 7850 which nowadays still maxes Battlefield 3

I get this too, same graphics card. I too have noticed this problem while playing Saints Row 3, and more recently Neverwinter. The game will run fine (and on high detail etc) for a while, sometimes a few hours and sometimes only a few minutes.
My screen will go black and whatever sound was playing last will loop for a few seconds before getting robotty and eventually falling silent. My monitor at this point is saying there is no signal but the pc is still "running"

For both hycolours and Quentin.
1) Use this tool to uninstall the current drivers (only for Windows 7):
http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloads/Pages/catalyst-uninstall-utility.aspx
2) Install the latest 13.4 driver:
http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloads/Pages/radeon_win7-64.aspx
That should fix both of your issues.
