Okay first of all here are my specs.

Radeon Software Version - 17.7.2
Radeon Software Edition - Crimson ReLive
Graphics Chipset - AMD Radeon R7 200 Series
Memory Size - 2048 MB
Memory Type - DDR3
Core Clock - 780 MHz
Windows Version - Windows 10 (64 bit)
System Memory - 8 GB
CPU Type - AMD FX(tm)-8310 Eight-Core Processor

(Taken directly from my driver.)

My problem is that I can't play any games without them crashing. (I can't even play lower end games like Minecraft without it eventually crashing.) I've tried for a very long time to try and pinpoint a source of error but I haven't found one. I realized finally that I should probably just ask you guys because you guys are all super tech-savy.

My current suspicion is on the GPU overheating due to it being a little out of date but I'm not sure because I've had a lot of "suspicions" in the past.

What I mean by crashing is the program will all of the sudden show a lot of graphical glitches (Textures stretching, etc.) or it'll show a black screen. The computer fan will get extremely loud. Then the monitor itself will go black and then shortly comeback where I will see the game with no display and I cannot interact with it. Then I'll have to open Ctrl+Alt+Delete to open the Task Manager and close the game manually.

Hopefully one of you guys can help me out, because it's really getting on my nerves.

Thank you.

Did you do anything recently? (software installation, driver update, Windows FCU update etc. etc.)
If I remember correctly, some people had a problem with latest Radeon drivers and Windows Fall Creator's Update.
