Ok so yesterday I installed my windows again and I overclocked my cpu a little. prime95 for 1 hour,nothing strange with my cpu.
Butt: After i played a game for like 1-2 hr ( my cpu was at 45C and gpu 69C) i had a red screen . I got a memory.dmp and a minidump.
All have this thing : PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
 
Solution
You don't yet know for sure; once the system is deemed stable at stock speed, then start overclocking the CPU again and increase the voltage a bit to determine if it helps (the max apparently is 1.5 V, but that's very high and the CPU would run very hot; I wouldn't exceed 1.45 V). There's no formula for instant overclocking success.

I don't know. I just reset my motherboard,maybe I did something stupid?
The thing is that I played a game (League of legends) all day and didn't have a problem.
GTA5 for 2 hours and boom,red screen + that mini-dump.
Is it the GPU or CPU? Strange..

This was probably caused by the following module: atikmdag.sys (atikmdag+0x115671)
Bugcheck code: 0x50 (0xFFFFD00021B718A8, 0x0, 0xFFFFF801758E5671, 0x0)
Error: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
file path: C:\Windows\system32\drivers\atikmdag.sys
product: ATI Radeon Family
company: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
description: ATI Radeon Kernel Mode Driver
Bug check description: This indicates that invalid system memory has been referenced.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
A third party driver was identified as the probable root cause of this system error. It is suggested you look for an update for the following driver: atikmdag.sys (ATI Radeon Kernel Mode Driver, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.).

It could certainly be the GPU or the drivers, but removing the CPU overclock would be my first step. An overclock can also cause issues, but you haven't told us anything about your system (other than you have an AMD GPU). I wouldn't dismiss the GPU, but a PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA can be caused by the motherboard, memory, an unstable overclock the PSU.

AMD r9 380 4GB (slight overclock 1140/1505)
FX 8350 4.0 stock (I had a slight overclock 4.2ghz but idk why my motherboard was giving 1.3V ..and it wouldn't lock on 1.35 ..)
8GB Klevv Neo (had XMP1 so 1600mhz cl9 but i also reset this one,so it's stock now)
XFX 550W Pro (bronze one)
GA 970A-UD3P rev2

I just reset all the overclocks (only the gpu is now at 1500mhz ram and 1105) played GTA 1 hour and nothing so far..
