Dead GPU probably. That's all I can say.

Well it works time to time it just crashes abt 1-2 times a day

@Charlie1337, try to make sure it isn't overheating. Download something like GPU-Z to tell you what the temps are.

Yeah that's not good. RMA it if possible.

[Charlie1337]

well temps are pretty good nothing wrong with that.

Run it through a stress test like FurMark or Unigine Valley, if it crashes through those turn down core clocks and/or increase core voltage.

I've had something very similar happen to a 7950 previously, the chip/vram went on it and I got various errors/bsods/freezes to similar colours to what you have right there. 

 

That particular crash was when the video driver stopped responding and couldn't re-start and I would be left with what ever colour was on my middle of my screen with the audio replaying. That would end in a crash of the system or it restarting.

 

Unfortunately there isn't a fix as it could happen at any time due to the chip/vram been utilized differently every time and it might not hit the corrupt/dead part of the GPU.  RMA the card with the vendor you bought it from and explain the situation. I would advice to start doing benchmarks and playing demanding games while checking your VRAM usage and general GPU usage. This helps with been able to tell them that for example BF4 over 55% usage while cause the crashes etc. Let's them get to the point straight away. 

 

Edit: Try to downclock your core/memory by 10%, this should help for a couple of weeks until the problem get's worse. Also if this does work then 100% RMA the card.
