The FAQ section of the readme has suggestions for what Catalyst version and OpenCL SDK/Runtime.

The OpenCL with Catalyst 2.8 is not good for 5xxx series GPU's.  You need to use something along the lines of OpenCL SDK 2.1 to 2.5 and NOT 2.6 or higher for Bitcoin mining.

Now is that the cause of your crash's?  I have no idea.
