An update in terms of a find or solution to my problem.
I switched the bios on my 6990 from 2 to 1. While playing battlefield my screen did not flicker black like it did occasionally before. But the game still crashed (by crashed i am referring to game freezing). I left my computer alone while it was frozen on BFBC2 for about 20 minutes to see if it would crash to desktop and give me a driver error, but no such luck. I had to do a hard reboot.
I then went to the final solution and moved my 6990 to the other x16 PCI-E lane so i can confirm that it is not the lane that is broken. I also reinstalled 11.5 drivers with 11.5 CAP1. I will update again with results on how this works out.

unfortunately because of my 6990 i NEED afterburner running in the background, do to fan options and temp monitoring.
But something interesting came up just now while i was playing. The game DID freeze but instead of it crashing completely i pressed "ctrl alt del" and i get a message saying your game has crashed. Now i just have to find a way to relate that to when my GPU was on my other PCI-e lane.

So while reading around i am finding out that disable CCC should be the fix to the majority of my issues. I have also heard that it can disable without crashing the driver, is this possible? Is there a way to disable it or do i have to go through the Windows Task Manager?
Also should i disable CCC along with MOM.exe?

Nope nothing. neither changing PCI-e lanes or disabling CCC/MOM.exe worked. This SUCKS!

FOUND THE PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Apperantly it has to do with my sound card. i removed it and everything works!! Now i just have to figure out why that is.

Cinbench sometimes says it has 'crashed' but really it's the overclock isn't stable. Could be the same for this

Yea i took overclocking into consideration. I was just worried that it was my GPU. I would of cried one massive river if it was.

Cheaper cards always hold up better for some reason
