Core clock extremely unstable (Rx 550 2gb)

2 years ago since I bought my rx 550, its core clock has always been extremely unstable, most of the time below 600 in gaming/100% stress and because of that I'm always having a extreme low perfomance in every game (default core clock is 1071 with boost) as you can see in the first pics:

I always had to use overclock to make the core clock to go over 1000 but it still didn't reach the limit and it was quite unstable (between 1000-1100). Yesterday I was gaming and using a overclock like always but for some unknown reason my screen froze and I restarted the pc, when the pc turned on i went to play the same game and for the first time i remember, this was the first time i saw the gpu using 100% of its core clock and stable.

 When this happened I wasn't using an overclock and the core clock didn't drop from 1071 at any point while I was playing and for the first time I was able to experience 60 fps without overclocking. However, after turning off the computer and turning it on again, the same problem returned.

Get a better PSU .. 600wtt or higher with an 80+ Gold rating or better from a reputable brand

Make sure you have all 8pin power plugins populated at top of your motherboard (2x4pin from PSU)

Get at least another 8GB stick of matching RAM

Run the program called DDU and remove all things AMD GPU .. reboot .. and THEN install latest GPU drivers from AMD.com

Update your motherboards BIOS to latest

Go to Intel.com and run their driver update utility

Check your CPU/GPU temps

Make sure your Windows install is up to date
