As the title goes, i'm currently experiencing some trouble with my R9 270x. Sometimes i get severe fps drops in games like Counterstrike GO at low quality and 1024x768 resolution, which really shouldn't happen, and sometimes some games just totally freeze and i get a blue screen on my monitor (not a BSOD, this might be a monitor issue but i'm not sure. It happened to me several times playing Starcraft 2 and Lego Star Wars), being forced to restart the PC. I have some trouble also while watching Twitch streams on Firefox, which stutter and sometimes block causing the usual pop-up "display driver stopped responding and has recovered" to appear. I'm also having some issues while playing Assassin's Creed Syndicate: sometimes the game works just fine at low quality and low resolution, but sometimes it just starts lagging hard for apparently no reason and I have to restart it to make it work again for a small time. Today I tried to run a benchmark test with AIDA 64 and when the test reached the SHA-1 Hash part, the same pop-up appeared and the test stopped.
The problems seem to have begun when I switched to Windows 10 and installed the new drivers and the new Radeon software crimson edition, I don't know how to solve this. Can anyone help me? Thanks a lot in advance.

Here are my PC specs:
Motherboard: Asus M5A97 LE R2.0
Graphic Card: Asus Radeon R9 270x 2GB
CPU: AMD Fx-8320 Vishera (liquid cooled)
RAM: 2x Corsair XMS3 4 GB
Power Supply: Cooler Master 600W

Huh if you're running the 15.12 version already then I don't know what to tell you, cause as far as I know on my R9 390, the 15.12 one was pretty stable... I might go put my old Radeon 7850 into my computer see if I get any similar problems to you, since the Radeon 7850 is suppose to be basically a R7 265, and the 7870 is suppose to be a R9 270, and they're both the same architecture.

Make sure you installed version 15.12 or 16.1 for the drivers from the AMD website.

Also the AMD auto updater is terrible, for instance 16.1 drivers have been out for a couple of days nows, and whenever I pressed update inside the Radeon Settings software, it kept telling me I already had the latest drivers.

The 15.x.x Crimson drivers were largely broken until the 15.12 drivers. So make sure you're not using 15.7 or 15.11 drivers.

15.7 drivers had the issue of not dynamically adjusting fan speed, where the fan speed was locked at 20% which made some cards overheat and die.

15.11 drivers came out like a few days later and had the problem where the fans and overclock settings would reset after every reboot. The fans would be set to manual on reboot and would be set to 70% which made them insanely noisy at idling.

15.12 drivers came out like a few weeks later seem to fix both of the problems above.

16.1 drivers, I haven't seen any noticeable difference between this one and the 15.12 drivers but it seems equally as stable.

I'm currently running the 15.12 version, I'll try to update to 16.1 and see if my problem gets fixed. I didn't know it was out, thanks for the advice
