After reading your "underclocking" post and seeing that pic I'd say your g'card simply overheats. My R9700 showed some very similar weirdness when the cooler was badly fixed. If the card's new, give it back and have it replaced or let the guys at the shop make sure the cooler's mounted right and the vent is working.
If the card's older or has no warranty anyway, just do it yourself (which makes your warranty go bye-bye, in case there's still a valid one). Unmount the cooler and clean it, then apply a very thin layer of quality cooling paste on the gpu and remount the cooler. Once reinstalled, check if the vent is spinning when the rig is powered on.
If that doesn't solve your problem, dl and install MotherBoardMonitor: http://mbm.livewiredev.com/
Set it up so it shows all temps right, then have it make a high/low log like every 30 seconds. Let it run in the background while you play. Once the graphics start freaking, leave the game (or reboot if needed) and check the temps your system reached during play. If your mobo temp's above 40°C you should increase the airflow inside your case, if your cpu goes above 50°C, you'll need to take a look at your cpu's cooler too.
Problem is that no matter how good your gpu cooler is, if the case temp goes way high, it'll simply make efficient cooling of your gcard impossible.
