All of my games keep freezing and then the audio loops the last second or two of sound then it goes to my desktop and a pop up appears saying amd driver stopped responding and recovered. Whys it doing this and how do i stop it ?

Check your temps while gaming, overheating could cause instability and cause the crash if temps are not the issue than try a clean uninstall and reinstall of video card drivers, also try a malware scan using malwarebytes and a quick virus check using your preffered anti-virus.

Download and install Speedfan to check your temps, just play your game for about 10-15 mins and then alt-tab out to speedfan and check what your temps are for your CPU and GPU. GPU temps should not go above 80c and CPU temps should stay below 60c

I had the same problem a few years back and solved it with an update to sound card drivers, especially if you have a dedicated sound card . I agree with Roxas_Boy about the temps download CPU-Z and GPU-Z and check temps.

Temps aren't the issue then. Try updating your sound card drivers, if that doesn't work get back to us
