Hey everyone, I know this question has been asked a lot but so far non of the fixes or changes have helped me as of yet, So! first things I'll post what i have tried.
-Updating my AMD drivers.
-Cleaning the registry.
-I've tried a number of stability tests on my GPU, RAM and CPU all passed.
-Updating my Bios.
-Nothing is over clocked.
-Is at reasonable temperatures, according to Corsair Link, but I've noticed it out putting a lot more heat then normal.

Alright I've had my computer for in its current state for over a year now, its been through many upgrades but has stayed the same since. I've been noticing many graphical distortions in video games and the drivers crashing quite a bit. I used to be able to play fallout 4 at around 40 FPS normally and being able to play without it crashing for a long time, but for the past week or two, maybe about 20 minutes has been the longest without it crashing while normally it crashes shortly after starting up a save. I've tried a number of other video games with strange graphical problems such as the world being black, polygons exploding into a large cluster for no reason, world partly dispersing around me and textures becoming random colors, and mainly of course the AMD drivers crashing. I've even noticed Firefox crashing my drivers from time to time, but mainly when a game is running while Firefox is in the background.

I believe I've tried other things besides what I've labeled above but can't remember as I have been trying to fix this for the last week or so.

Parts.
Mobo: GA-990FXA UD3
Cpu: AMD FX 8350
Ram: 4 Sticks of 8gb Corsair Vengeance Ram.
Gpu: XFX R9 270x
OS: Windows 10 x64
Psu: 630 Wat Raidmax Hybrid 2RX (not sure on this, i've had this PSU since the start of my computer back in 2012 - 2013 or so, and wasn't the PSU I bought, mine was DOA and took it to a shop to see what was wrong, came back with this thing.)

I'm not really sure where to go next in terms of trying to fix this. So Some help would be great guys!

I know this gets asked a lot I just don't know where to turn next.

-Riley.

Hi, there is a chance that your PSU can't provide enough power to GPU. Without enough power, driver will crash.
Here are similar topics about your PSU:
1) Link1
2)Link2

If you can, try with different PSU, it's only thing you can rule out bad psu.

Hope this helps.

Hey there, thanks for the help the PSU is what I was expecting to be dying the most, sadly don't have another PSU to really plug in, only other one i have in the house is a lower powered one and inside my boyfriends computer, which taking out (which we had to do once before when we thought his was dead) So seems i'll have to order a new PSU probably will be going with one by Corsair or EVGA.

Other then that, haven't tried my computer for a few days, tried booting it up and got a bluescreen 0x000032 (not really sure if this is what I got it didn't pop up for more then 3 seconds or so) Right now I'm, typing this from inside safe-mode with networking. Thanks for the confirmation on the PSU, probably order a new much nicer one on Friday.
