I built my PC about a year ago and it has run perfectly fine up to about a week ago or so when it started having these odd video crashes. I would sometimes being playing a game and the driver would crash and recover then I couldn't see the game on my monitor. I would have to kill the game via task manager and start it up again to be able to play. Other times I would have a you tube video up and then all of a sudden my main display will have some sort of glitched video and my second display will be perfectly fine. While this is happening the computer is till running and playing audio from whatever video I had up. Now it has gotten to a point where if I go so far into browsing on chrome it will have that messed up video on my main display and my second display if perfectly okay and if I wait long enough for it to recover then Windows crashes and I get a blue screen displaying some error information which goes away before I can read anything. I am pretty confident in it being a driver issue with AMD Crimson software but I am not 100% sure. I am also kind of lost as of where to go and what to do at this point.

My system specs are
-AMD FX-8320 @ 3.5Ghz
-Gigabyte 970A-D3P
-Crucial Ballistix Sport XT 16GB (2x8GB) 1866
-HIS IceqX2 Radeon R9 280X
-Corsair CX750 PSU
-Crucial 256GB SSD
-WD 1TB HDD

Let me know if I left anything important out and I will reply and update the post.
