RX 480 crashes and 10k% power usage?

So i have some issues with my xfx rx480 and i need someone to tell me what the heck is going on. 

So first of all since i bought my gpu i can hear a static noise in my headphones when the gpu is under load and nothing fixes it. And it is most likely also not a power socket issue. 

I learned to live with that static but now that my pc sometimes gives me a blackscreen when im playing games. Blackscreen, but i can still hear the ingame music and when i hit my pc's power button it does not turn off so i have to manually unplug the psu when crashing. And then i noticed something in msi afterburner, something quite frightning. Have a look at the picture:

 

ITS SKY HIGH?!? 

Also when i then for instance scroll a webpage the % goes up by  about 3000. And when playing game it hangs around 100k%. The static noise in my headset is also louder when playing games and i can hear a soft brrrrt noise when scrolling a webpage. 

 

I tried alot of stuff. I installed the latest drivers i tried diffrent powercables and tried plugging it into diffrent sockets. 

 

I know this post is kinda all over the place but forgive me, english is not my first language 

 

**EDIT**: I can also somehow not control my Voltage and memory clock and such in msi afterburner anymore.

 

**EDIT 2** I forgot maybe the most important thing, Ill add a picture of an error Radeon settings gave me about Radeonwattman.

the black screen with everything still working has been happening to me recently as well on my 480.  I think its probably a driver issue.  I havnt tried rolling back to see if that fixes it.

in afterburner to you have a reset button? (to reset gpu to default settings) looks like maybe a bad auto overclock ?

I think you mean send the GPU back? Well im a little late for that now. I did not want to do it in the beginning because i just got my gpu back. This one was given to me for free because my r9 290 broke down under warranty, but it took them 3 months to reply to me with this rx480 offer so i could not play videogames for 3 long months and i did not want that again...

If it took them three months I'd have saved up and took my business else where, that's bad customer service is that.
