Hi there,
I've been dealing with this since November last year when I built my computer. Certain games hang after a random amount of time. The screen goes black and sometimes it returns to normal with a massive lag spike the first three seconds or so and sometimes they crash with the error 'DirectX has encountered an unrecoverable error' or 'AMD driver has stopped responding and successfully recovered'. Sometimes the games freezes my computer permanently and two days ago I receved my first blue-screen. I do not have details about it since it disappeared very quickly.
I took my computer to my friend yesterday to try some components from his. His GPU had the same issue as mine and it's working flawlessly in his so it's not the GPU. I re-installed Windows yesterday and no difference so it's not Windows. I've tried over 20 different GPU driver versions and all work the same, both beta and releases. I have the lasest motherboard BIOS and all temperatures on all components are monitored with stabile temeratures. I have the latest versions of DirectX. I've run DxDiag and all components are activated. GPU is factory OCd but the CPU is not OCd. I've used regedit and changed tdrdelay and no difference. I've tried several Microsoft Fix-It and the same things still happen.
When the games freezes the GPU activity and CPU activity goes down to 0% and then resumes if not crashing. I've run a full memtest and there were no errors.
The games freezing and glitching are: CoD 4, CoD WaW, CoD MW2 (most likely all other CoD games as well), Dishonored, The Witcher 2, State of Decay, Skyrim (only warped and stretched models since re-install of windows, froze before that. The only mods I'm running is Hi-Res textures).
The games not freezing and glitching are: Borderlands 2, Minecraft, Super Hexagon, Tomb Raider (max settings), L4D, L4D2, Terraria, Dolphin emulator (really pushes the system).
Full-screen YouTube videos and other full-screen applications work fine. Here's an example of Skyrim's warps, it can be anything from this:

The warps are affected by reflection (link below) and rotating which means it is actual game objects. If I tab out it all disappears. Google Chrome is affected by the freeze. If I exit the game Chrome also starts to warp elements. If I close it down it disappears. If I disable my GPU and re-activate it, it disappears. It never happens in Chrome unless the black screen freeze occurs.

Does anyone have a clue to what this is? :/ It doesn't seem like it's hardware related.
