Recently I have tried to use the radeon crimson program to try and tun up the clock on my gpu and ended up screwing myself. Up until this point, after 2 years of use my gpu was running fine and then this is what is causing a sort of black screen where there are sometimes bars across the screen and effectively crashes. What I had attempted to do in the Crimson overdrive feature was overclock it to 1400MHz and 20% more power allocation. After that it had crashed and I had gotten a notification from windows 10 about a driver failure. I have tried reinstalling my drivers and haven't gotten anywhere doing that. Everytime I start up my build now and i try to run any game it will crash the same way with the bars across the screen. I have been looking for a solution and couldn't find one other then drivers, power, and get a new one. Considering its been working for so long already I tried to rule those last 2 out. Here are my specs:

AMD fx 8350 black edition W/ Hyper 212 Evo and 1 fan on it.
Radeon xfx R9 270x (Best buy exlusive one)
Msi sli krait edition motherboard
Corsair RM 750 PSU
2 4gb cards of patriot memory, 2 4gb cards of pac sun memory
Patriot 120gb Pyro ssd
WD 1tb hard drive
 
Solution
Boot into safe mode and uninstall your driver from there. Reboot then reinstall the driver. If problem persist try doing clean driver install using DDU.
