My R9 280x is being a bitch for these couple of months now:

1)sometimes the fans would stop spinning

2)Thermals reach up to 99C if fans stop spinning.(which causes it to throttle and be stuck at 300 Clock and 150 Memory untill I restart the system)

3)To keep it stable I need my clocks to be 890 On the core and 1250 on the memory,What do I do?

Could it be a driver issue? Or Windows? Try installing MSI Afterburner and making a custom fan curve?

It could be a driver or OS issue, but it could also be a GPU issue. Do you have someones PC you can test the GPU in? If it works there, then it's not the GPU. :)
