radeon GPU lockup while gaming

Also posted this on the subreddit, but no one's replied to that yet.

So recently, I've been dealing with a lot of GPU lockups while playing TF2. They seem to be fairly random, but only happen while I'm in-game. Usually, the screen freezes, the same fraction of a second of audio loops until the screen goes black and I'm back as if nothing had happened. It may happen within minutes of each other or a half hour, etc. But it makes gaming fairly difficult.

Hardware is HD 6850. I don't have any other configuration in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d for radeon. I do boot with `radeon.dpm=0` in the kernel parameters, though, as that seems to lessen the frequency.

Here's a journal log of the crash:
