AMD 7990 starting to fail?

Hi everyone, I'm after some expert advice here.

I bought an MSI 7990 on the 24th August last year. Over the last 2 weeks I've had my screen randomly crash whilst sat idle, crashed when booting and the biggest problem is that BF4 has become unplayable, I don't play it anywhere near ultra even though it can handle that.

BF4 has become laggy and my FPS when on the move drops to 35fps and rarely gets above 60-70fps now. With this amongst other things is the card on it's way out? I do also have ULPS off on MSI afterburner.

So I thought I would give the card a bit more stress, I ran a futuremark 1080p test (1920x1080 resolution my monitor) after 6-7 minutes of the temps staying reasonable and the FPS being at 115ish all of a sudden the temps went up to 101C and the FPS could not get above 60.

I then immediately booted up Heaven 4.0 and the struggle was clear, I got a score of 965, earlier before I got 1700+, I also ran GPU-z and it said on one of the GPU's the core clock didn't get above 500mhz.

So it seems the card runs seemingly fine for a period, it's been good for 45mins to an hour in the past but something happens and the card can't cope with all the graphical shenanigans going on.

Does this sound familiar to issues you have experienced with other cards? Just for my own piece of mind that it is the card.
