AMD driver crash while gaming

I have an R9 380 with the latest AMD drivers (16.12.2), but I'm having some serious issues with games since the first driver with ReLive (which I did not install). This happens every time I play Battlefield 1 and has happened once with another game (can't remember which). A notification appears with the message "default WattMan settings have been restored due to system failure" or something like that. This happens with or without overclock (through Afterburner, which worked flawlessly before the ReLive drivers).

BF1 crashed with a driver crash error I can't remember exactly because it won't show the error dialog again for more that a second or so (I remember it said within brackets that it may have to do with a GPU disconnection or an automatic driver upgrade, stuff that did not happen)

 

What the heck is going on?
