R9 290x after new updates, constant Black screens and Artifacts

Hello

 

Ive had this PC for about 8 years mind you, i play mostly Starcraft 2 and Rainbow 6, recently 2 weeks of Escape from Tarkov, i keep all my settings on low for everygame so i could have more FPS,

 

After playing Tarkov for about 2 weeks menu loads started to slow down, eventually my CPU would go black , flicker and audio would catch itself in a feed back, so i would hard reset, after this happen with even SC2 

AMD app would tell me it is a error with the drivers not being detected? 

I took apart the GPU , reapplyed thermal pads and paste, installed it it all worked great and things loaded faster , the next day same thing.

 

I have also tried reinstalling both of the drivers they offer now from the main page , still nothing

 

I wonder if playing Escape from Tarkov fried my GPU? or is my GPU still in good condition its just the drivers?
