Rx580 blackscreening after installing latest drivers

About a week ago, I installed the new driver and my once stable Rx580 Nitro+ 8GB decided to stop working in any graphic intensive games. I've tried about everything and nothing has worked. Also, I can't even play non-intensive games like rocket league for more than a couple minutes without it black screening. 

Specs of PC

  • Ryzen 5 2600 Six-Core 3.85 Ghz
  • Rx 580 8GB GPU
  • X470 GAMING PLUS motherboard
  • 600 Watt Bronze power supply
  • DDR4 2600 24 GB Ram
  • Windows 10 Education

Things I've tried

  • AMD cleaning Utility(in safe mode) and driver update (Reverted to older more stable version, 20.9.1 and 20.4.?)

  • Changed the power settings( removed what can be done by power button)

  • Used windows file checker to look for corrupted files

  • Unplug and plug the graphics card back in.

  • Use a different PCIe port
  • Change power limit to +50% and Fan settings to higher

Some notes

  • Message "Default Radeon WattMan settings have been restored due to an unexpected system failure" pops up every time regardless of me changing the default settings or not
  • The fans PC lights remain on after the black screen. I have to turn off via the power button
  • When I restart my PC the fans on the GPU go to full power.
  • I had this problem when I first got my PC, but was able to fix it(Don't remember how)
