Hey So Um A Few Days Ago My Display Randomly Went Black.
I UnPlugged And Replugged The Pc Into The Mains And It Turned on but Soon Again it Turned Off
I Could See The Keyboard RGB On And The Mouse's Too So Were The Lights On The Fans In MY Chassis But No Display Showed. I Could Even Hear The Audio From The Pc
I Tried Some Trouble Shooting My Self. Changed The PCIe Slot And Tried To Clean The GPU A Bit (Just Dusting Under The Fans) I Have A i5 4690 So It Has A iGPU And It Works I PLugged My Display Into The Mobo And I Got  A Display
I Noticed That The Fan On The GPU Itself Not The One On The AIO The One On The GPU Was Going Crazy
I Reinsalled The Drivers And It Booted with Display From The GPU.It Turns On But But When I Tried To Run 3D Mark's Performance Test It Crashed And It Didn't Work Again Sadly.
I Am A 14 Year Old HighSchool Kid And Cant Afford A New GPU 
Heck I Cant Even Afford A Used 1050 Ti At This Point So I Really Need This Back xD
Well Hope Me The Best
And Thank You For Your Help

The wattage is definitely a bit overkill but at least you have headroom with an R9 295X2. Perhaps try repasting/cleaning the card may be all it needs since it's on the older side and I did not see if you did so in your post. Also, check to see if you hear the pump moving for the radiator, as the AIO on this card will be the primary cooling solution for this.

I can Hear The AIO Moving Water In There And Yes I Did Some In Depth Dusting But I Don't Have Any Thermal Paste Right Now Sadly

Ok, sounds like it is working then (hopefully). Reapplying thermal paste would be the next thing I would do since this card is nearly 7 years old. This could be just simply overheating. I'd advise against trying to use it until you can change the thermal paste.

Well...it sounds as if the card is dying if it's crashing in 3D applications. You can try using DDU to reinstall AMD's graphics drivers to see if this is a possible issue. This drivers will be Legacy drivers as the card is no longer supported.

This just uses the same drivers as any r9 200 series 
are you sure this is no longer supported?

Yes, AMD moved these cards to Legacy support awhile ago. This is the latest driver for the card.

You can try to use it, just use DDU to wipe the old drivers and install the latest.
