Games will keep crashing if I don't underclock my Video Card.

Games like
(CS:GO, Overwatch and Crysis 1)
will crash randomly when I have my graphics card clock'd normally.
I've never overclocked my GPU before, but it did come out of the box OC.
I have no idea what started this. I have had my PC for coming up 4 years.
I use MSI AfterBurner to underclock.
I have to send Core Clock to -502 (the lowest)
and Memory Clock to -501 (the lowest) for game snot to crash.

Today's a hot day so the starting temp is a bit high.
47 before gaming. 68 about a minute in, and max 80. I think I did a temp test when I first got the issue using programs to run my GPU really hard, but they never crashed even when it got as high as 90

Ran a test at native res for about 5 minutes at normal default clock speeds and no crashes.
Starting temp was 65 (just finished playing Space Engineers (which did crash at default clock speeds)) and max was 95.
