Driver problems?

[Numbafieve]

So today my other screen finally arrived and it seems like a pretty straight forward process one would think.  Unplug the old screen and put the new one in its place.  Everything was working fine for about 5 hours and then when i was about to take a nap i heard my computer restart for no reason.  When i checked on it half of the wallpaper didn't even load so it was just the top half of the wallpaper and all of my icons had shifted to the left 1 space.  At first i thought it might just be my recent GPU overclock that might not be as stable as i thought.  So i started up MSI afterburner and immediately crashed (Blue screen).  So i let it do its thing and then restarted it.  Again all of the icons had shifed over 1 space again and i was half way through typing this when it crashed again.  

 

The only things that have changed at all before this started happening are

New screen:  i had a 1600x900 samsung that i replaced with a 1080p benq

New AMD drivers:  yesterday i updated the drivers for my 390

Installed drivers for a network attached printer

Overclock on my GPU that i have been using for weeks and I thought was quite stable (maybe not?)

 

I can only keep the computer on for about 5 minutes before it crashes and opening MSI afterburner makes it immediately crash.  I think i have it set to not apply overclocking on startup because i usually don't need the power and that card heats up the room so much when i do have it overclocked.  I did notice though that the new drivers allows the memory clock on the GPU to go down to 150Mhz instead of just staying pinned at whatever i have it overclocked to.  The voltage as a result also will go down and thus the card doesn't idle at 55 degrees.

 

Im probably going to go dink around with the computer some more while responses come in for this

Okay then, install this http://www.iobit.com/en/beta/db3/downloadb.php and then use it to update all your drivers. I use it, really neat tool. After that, if it still acts up then we know its not a driver issue. After that the next option would be to check boot into the most recent prior backup (if you have one...)

Finally done, that program looks pretty useful but dang that had a lot of crap come with it.  Lets hope it doesn't crash again, I didn't say this yet but I successfully reset my GPU to the factory settings (MSI afterburner was overclocking at startup) and enabled a bunch of the crap software that came with the drivers for the printer and my computer SEEMS to be ok now but only time will tell.  Im doing a bunch of stress tests and benchmarks to see.

Yeah sorry for the garbage stuff, but as long as it works, hey, it can be uninstalled. See how it does when the tests come back and then leave it like that for a week, if its good then go back to ramping everything up. GL

crashed 3 times in a row again... and the same 6 icons keep moving up 1 space when it restarts, this is super weird

im about ready to do that to see.  I cant imagine how a new monitor that is a duplicate of my 2nd monitor could cause problems.  Right now im in safe mode and im going to see if it crashes again.
