Hello !
Here are my PC specifications:
CPU: Intel i5-4460
GPU: Amd Radeon r9 280x
Memory: GA-Z97-D3H
RAM: 16GB (4x8 DDR3)
G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 1600Mhz
Power Supply: Cooler Master 650W
Storage: 120GB Kingston A400
HDD: 1TB WD Blue

It's just what the display indicates. "Unexpected failure." The GPU detected the issue and the software reinstated your OLD settings, which were reliable.
The 280X matches the 7970 in performance. The original model ran below 1GHz. After the upgrade to the GHz version, it was 1.2GHz on a card that was originally rated for 1GHz. That claim is quite optimistic. Back then, my system barely hit 1.2, and I never exceeded 1500MHz. Yet, 1.2GHz proved stable for a long time once adjusted.
My hardware stopped working six months ago. The FET and capacitors have worn out, limiting it to around 700MHz. It quickly dropped from 1.2GHz within two months. I think yours will reach the end of its life soon too.
Also, your power supply seems...

The 280X matches the 7970 in performance. The original model ran below 1GHz, but the upgraded version now operates at 1.2GHz. Originally, it was designed for speeds under 1GHz. At first, my system barely hit 1.2, and I never exceeded 1500MHz. Yet, 1.2GHz proved reliable for a long time after adjustments.

Your power supply seems unreliable now. CM produced mid-range units and some lower-quality PSUs. As these become older, they generate noise, experience voltage drops during sudden load changes, and deliver less power under sustained use. GPUs are particularly affected when operating near their limits.
