ATI Catalyst Driver Instability?

[Veliky Kaiser Theos]

I've always gotten the odd driver failure with the HD 6950, and even more odd blue-screen. But I updated the driver using their website's "detect which update" .exe. But, in the week that I've been using the fully up to date driver, I've been getting a lot more crashes, gone from once every week to it being daily. Is anyone else getting problems with it? Should I install an older version, and if so, could someone recommend one for a 64-bit system please?

Edit------

I'm only getting these crashes with Mount and Blade:Warband.

force vsync in Mount & Blade,

AMD / ATi and Mount & Blade are known to have a rocky relationship some drivers are better for that game then others,

2 big things for keeping the game from crashing, limit your FPS higher its going more often it tends to crash, also more troops in a battle = more likely it will crash,

this is coming from someone whos run 4870x2, 5850x2, 6970x2, 6950x2, 7970 all have the same crash, mods to the game tend to make the issue even more pronounced.
