Display driver stopped responding and has recovered R9 280x

I have a R9 280x Windforce (Rev.2) card and some games randomly freeze for a few seconds with the error "Display driver has stopped responding and has recovered". I have RMA'ed the card, they said it was "fixed" nothing has been done to the card... I tried everything; Reinstalling drivers and Catalyst Control Centre multiple times, BIOS updates (I even bricked one of my BIOS'es on my GPU), Reinstalling Windows. No results. Catalyst Control Centre says that my memory runs at 1500MHz in stead of the 6000MHz promised by Gigabyte, I think my card doesn't have enough voltage, but I can't modify the voltage setting nor monitor it. Anyways, I have no hope anymore. Maybe someone had/has the same problem or has an idea how to fix it, or what's causing it. Thanks in advance.

 

Specs:

CPU: FX-6300

GPU: R9 280x Windforce Rev. 2

PSU: Corsair CX600M

RAM: Hyperx Fury 8GB

Motherboard: Asus M5A97 R2.0

Get MSI afterburner and try downclocking it.

That's too low, you sure it's right? Can you place more stress at it.
