"C:\WINDOWS\system32>sfc /scannow   Beginning system scan.  This process will take some time.   Beginning verification phase of system scan. Verification 100% complete.   Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations."   Well it was worth a shot    
 
My original config with the Athlon II X4 860K (FM2+ Socket) does not have an iGPU. The CPU is a standard A10 but with the iGPU disabled in manufacturing. The A10 6800K (FM2 Socket) that I am currently running has an AMD HD 8670D (Confirmed with CPU-Z) iGPU, but I am running my second monitor with that right now and it never has a fault. When the GPU drivers crash, that screen stays up. That tells me that the driver for the R9 290 is the one that is crashing (They are separate drivers with separate HDMI audio driver lanes and everything in my device manager). 

I have not tried, but I have been having this issue since before the AMD Catalyst drivers called themselves "Omega"... so to rollback to a point that I have no knowledge on would be... pre 14.xx? 2 year old drivers? I'd prefer to find another solution.
 
I don't want to sound like I am dismissing your idea, but I have thought of this already and... yeah 2 year old drivers? I'd rather not. I may try it if something else doesn't pop up and fix my problem but I consider that a last resort, barring someone doesn't give me a really damn good reason to do so.

I am running at stock clocks now, the underclocking had no effect so I reverted. Also, the utility I use, Display Driver Uninstaller (I think it is by TechPowerUp), uninstalls the drivers for you then restarts with Windows set to not automatically find and download whatever it thinks it the best drivers for your display. 
 
 
I will try that and report back.
