RX 5700 game minimized to desktop

Hello there. 

I'm having issues with my graphics card. While i was playing Witcher 3 my game minimized to desktop. I couldn't maximize it, but i was still able to hear ingame music. I was then forced to kill the process in task manager.

I went to see what is going on in event viewer and i have noticed this error:

Faulting application name: Radeonsoftware.exe, version: 10.1.2.1788, time stamp: 0x5e59a285

My PC configuration is as follows:

- AMD Ryzen 5 3600, 100-100000031BOX
- Asrock B450M PRO4-F
- Crucial 16GB Kit ( 2x8GB ) DDR4 3000 MT/s (PC4-24000) CL15 RED
- SAPPHIRE PULSE RADEON RX 5700 8G GDDR6 HDMI / TRIPLE DP OC W/ BP (UEFI)
- GIGABYTE SSD 480GB, SATA III, 3D NAND TLC, 550MBs/480MBs
- GIGABYTE B700H Power Supply 700W, Modular, 80+ Bronze, Japanese capacitors, 120mm smart control fan, EU plug
- SilentiumPC Signum SG1 TG Pure Black

Temperatures under load are all perfectly normal, no issues there whatsoever.

Windows version is 1903. i did a clean install couple a days ago in order to see if that will make any difference when i install fresh new drivers. Interestingly enough, while i was writing this post, upon entering radeon sofware i experienced blue screen crash and my windows rebooted my pc because "something went wrong".

Frankly i have been having these issues (like green screen, black screen, desktop crash, PC randomly restarting) for over 20 days now when i was playing ac odyssey, however only when i started to play dlc content. I'm wondering if these issues are hardware related or driver related. I'm kinda losing my patience and I keep asking myself if i have made a right decision to buy this product (RX 5700). 

I would appreciate if anyone can give me a proper answer because I'm not fond of experiencing these issues, especially on a brand new machine. If u have any questions please feel free to ask. Thank you for your time.
