Lock ups usually occur from either faulty drivers, or heat issues. Make sure all your system fans are clean of dust and running normally. Check the temps on your Radeon card as well as using the latest Catalyst drivers. You might want to d/l and use Speedfan to help monitor system temperatures and fan speeds.
