Honestly, we don't have lots of experience yet with all the newer hardware ( most of my customers are just now upgrading into socketA!), but I have seen rumblings on forums regarding instability with the new Catalyst release and DirectX 9c.
Maybe you could try some different drivers (Omegas are very good) and revert back to 9b and see what happens.
