So last week after starting my RainbowSixSeige match, my screen started pixelating and tearing. After a couple of minutes during this I got BSOD with file error (maybe name is wrong) AtihdWT6.sys.
When my PC rebooted I tried installing latest AMD's graphic adapter but during the display driver installation the screen flickered and then system started rebooting. Now the system wouldn't boot either in safe mode or normal mode so through windows recovery cmd option I found this atihdwt6 file and deleted it which solved the boot-up problem. But now every time I try to install the graphics update, it just crashes and reboots.
After crash if I boot in safe mode it does show me my dedicated graphics driver but if I tried to boot normally, system just crashes after windows loading cursor. To load normally, I have to run amd's cleanup utility in safe mode and then reboot. Currently the graphics adapter is labeled as Microsoft basic display adapter and I cant utilize my GPU.

Error: WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR
Bug check description: This bug check indicates that a fatal hardware error has occurred. This bug check uses the error data that is provided by the Windows Hardware Error Architecture (WHEA).
This is likely to be caused by a hardware problem. This problem might also be caused because of overheating (thermal issue).
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver that cannot be identified at this time.
Event logger says
A fatal hardware error has occurred.
Component: AMD Northbridge
Error Source: Machine Check Exception
Error Type: HyperTransport Watchdog Timeout Error
Processor APIC ID: 0
I've updated every other drivers, updated the bios, ran memtests, re-assembled my build, but to no avail.
The thing that's been stopping me from concluding this as faulty hardware case is why would the GPU driver correctly load in safe mode while causing crash in normal bootup. Anyways I'm worn down by this and was hoping somebody here could figure this out.
Specs
Windows 10 64bit 1703
AMD FX-6300

R9 270x Dual-x 2gb graphics

Thanks.
