R9 290x Matrix GPU / Driver / Hardware problem

Hello people, I have a weird problem that I have not found a solution to. The problem is that my monitor starts to flicker and if nothing done to it makes my screen turn black and possibly restart/stop my computer. 

I am using MSI afterburner to stabilize my frequencies and I wonder what problem I have with the card. I hear that multiple people owning a R9 290x has problems with driver etc.

 

So here is a small video of the flickering while I re-install my drivers for the 100th time.

And when I use MSI afterburner to stabilize this I have to use it everytime i start my pc.

I also have a problem when I connect my 19" LG monitor to the videocard, my main monitor turns off and does not receive any signal, it says cable not connected, but It is.  I connect my LG monitor to a DP - VGA adapter then I hook it up to my screen. Nothing is showing an image, I once had them running together (But with a crapload of artifacts and lines on both screens I just gave up, because nobody is having the same issue as me.

Thanks for the help guys, I appreciate it (Y)!

I tried! I tried so many guides on how to do that, but the thing is disabled in my MSI afterburner, It's showing but I cannot access it

Afterburner settings and enable voltage control and monitoring.

How about GPU Tweak? And.. did you use switch to LN2 BIOS?
