Are you using the latest drivers ?? If not install them.
The reason why its creating problem in blasts is that it requires more processing to render those scenes and the gfx core is overloaded and crashes.

Another cause of your prob may be ur hynix ram ,I had a similar prob with a similar conf except for my msi rs480m2-il mobo. In my case the ram was creating probs, since the gfx card used a part of RAM as its Video mem,the gfx engine used to crash becoz of the RAM. To resolve this prob I reduced my RAM frequency to 133mhz from 200mhz.(I found the soln from trial & error).Hynix Rams are cheap but not good,this is what I gathered from feedbacks given by ppl.

Go to ur BIOS settings and look for DRAM setting. There u'll find the settings to reduce ur mem frequency.
Also reduce ur graphics RAM to 64 mb(If its not 64mb). So that ur system gets a good amount of RAM..around 192mb

I think changing the ram frequency will solve the problem but it surely will reduce graphics performance.
