It can still be a temperature problem even if it is clean. Right click on the desktop and hit AMD Radeon Settings and click gaming, once there hit global settings and then Global Wattman. Scroll down until you see currents temperature. Then start playing a game for about 10 minutes and tell us what the temperature is.
