Whenever I play a game on my r9 280x it will overheat and crash then game, then sometimes reset my gpu to 501 MHz then I can play the game fine, I have tried increasing fan speed and increasing power limit to 20% on msi afterburner nothing works!!

Any help at all will be much appreciated, thank you

I have not overclocked my card either

I would personaly go for a nvidia card cz amd cards always overheat more. Are you overclocking you'r card ?
This usually happens because of that… and dont forget to see if there is dust cz last time that was the reason my pc was overheating…
