Odd Memory Clocks

I have a Radeon R7 250, and ever since a power surge I've been having this odd issue where my memory clock on idle will downclock itself whenever I mess around with even the slightest option (+/- 1MHz core / memory clock) which causes my secondary monitor to flicker like crazy.

 

Under load it's ok, it runs at the full clock, but it's when it's idle that it's causing the issues.

 

It's not the drivers, I've had it through 4-5 versions now.

So idle it down clocks like it should? Could change a setting like Nvidia has for multi monitor and performance modes.

The memory does not downclock ever as far as I'm aware, so no, it doesn't downclock as it should, because it's not the core clock, it's the memory clock

So it’s the other monitor then. If you disable it and restart, should down clock.
