R9 280x possibly dying?

Hello! So I have had my lovely r9 for the past few years, and very recently it has started a lot of problems that I had tried looking around on the forum, diagnosing but got no where. 

 

I don't play very heavy games that are very harsh on my graphics card, mostly small games and some more higher up games. And recently it started to crash alot, blue screening not as frequently but has gotten worse. Artifacts are not terrible but they are progressively getting worse little by little. I have tried looking for any and all new drivers, either on AMD's site or through the catalyst software and came up empty handed. Temps are a not bad (35-38 idle) but will still crash games and freeze even when the temperature is not that bad.  

  

I'm a bit afraid for my system for the strain going on with it, so any and all help to possibly find a solution would be amazing!! I will provide all extra details to help if needed

Have you OverClocked it, harsh overClocking can damage the Card horribly.

Learned that the hard way...

If you need help on used parts, contact me. I'm an used enthusiast.

No. I had never touched the settings before for my gpu. I've only overclocked my cpu 

take a look at the GPUs board, see if there is any black spots or something along those lines.
