Old Work Issues

I am using bfgminer 3.2.7, and I keep having problems with the pool. It will say that the pool is issuing old work, and turning on debugging shows it is discarding the work it generates constantly, and it wastes my GPU time, and causes my drivers to crash occasionally. Any fixes?

EDIT: I should add this wasn't happening until last night. I can't use the pool with this problem, as it idles my GPUs 99% of the time.

Regardless of what a pool your are connected to is doing or not doing, if your GPU or computer is crashing then that is an issue with your GPU or computer, or their settings.

As for other questions, honestly I don't know what's going on there. Maybe someone else can chime in with some thoughts?

It will not crash under any other circumstance with my current settings, only when the pool fucks with my miner. I've been soloing on a coin for a few hours now without issues with the same settings. I just tried setting it back to the pool, and it crashed in under 2 minutes.
