Any suggestions would be very helpful.  I notice here
https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin/wiki/Mining-hardware-comparison
that a 5850 should be getting more than the 260-270 that I am currently getting out of it.  But when I turn my gpu_thread_concurrency up to 6500 like it says (currently at 6144) my machine crashes and I get the blue screen of death.  Any ideas on why this would be happening or tips on how to increase that speed?

Also note that I am using Reaper to mine with.

Thanks for any help in advance!!

Did you lower your memory clock? I had BSODs with low memory clocks and no problems later when I reset the clocks to default or overclocked. Also, make sure your GPU doesn't reach 90C, that temperature isn't good for your GPU over the long run.

Can't help you with Reaper as I use cgminer. (2) 5850 - 825 core, 850 mem, int=17. These are averaging 694 Kh/s @1.058 vddc. Those comparison charts are not set in stone for every card and as always, YMMV. Lot of factors come into play, quality of PSU, overclock-ability of GPU, stability of drivers, etc.
Good luck!
