Hi, after playing some days on my PC, today I got some kind of artefacts. On my screen shows up many different colored artefacts and after a while any game shuts down and I get a message from Radeon app: Default Radeon WattMan settings have been restored due to an unexpected system failure.
Any clues how to fix it? Is it even fixable?
I've been playing a lot of Wolfenstein games on Vulkan medium settings. On idle/desktop, everything is fine, but as soon as I launch any game I get artefacts ang GPU error.
My GPU temperature didn't get above 65deg C (149F), CPU below 50 (122F). I think its either a PSU error or GPU is at its end. I have PSU: XFX PRO 750W, rest of my PC specs are below.

I have a similar problem but its on my g31 igpu, looks very similar to your artifacting and when trying to launch a game the gpu driver crashes

 

Seems like it only happens above 290 or 300fsb so maybe set your settings to stock and get rid of any overclock you may have

After reinstalling drivers it got worse. I can barely launch to desktop. When I finally get to desktop, when I make any action, my PC freaks out, I get massive artefacts, and then black screen so I have to restart... I think I will call to my local PC service company to take a look at it, because it can be a fault of any component, even CPU, but I'm guessing its the GPU.

I didn't overclock my PC, ever, so apart from fan speeds everyrhing is default.

Reset the bios just to be sure by taking out the cmos battery for a minute or reset cmos via jumper if you still have those

I've send my PC to service, they checked it. It worked with another card normally, so my GPU is totaled...
