Radeon GPU driver crashes while playing games

[Valerio]

This happens every time i play Team Fortress 2. Sometimes the game freezes completely and after 10-20 seconds it recovers itself. Looking at dmesg output seems like the GPU driver crashes and restarts. I'm using the open drivers with a Radeon R9 270.
