Get your graphics card drivers from the GPU manufacturers website. In this case from AMD. It may not be a driver problem but the first thing you want to do regardless is to make sure you have the latest drivers. Also make sure your OS is up to date.

Delete your old driver first before installing your new driver and do not let Microsoft install their graphics drivers.
AMD Graphics Drivers & Software ? Download the latest drivers for your graphics products

What is the brand and model of your power supply? Dirty voltage or under voltage can also cause graphics card problems.

Run a stress test on your graphics card while monitoring all three voltages, especially your 12 volt rail.
