As written above, what has been happening quite a lot recently is that my AMD driver crashes and thus some of my Games do, too.
Now today I've managed to reproduce the same thing 3 times and even recorded logs with GPU-Z once, since I'm somewhat assuming that they are connected.

I've done the following to reproduce the crash today, 3 times in a row:
+ Watch Youtube Video, while having World of Warships running in the background (in the main menu), after a while of both running, once the youtube video switches via Autoplay, the AMD driver crashes. The GPU load is at 99% for the whole time and more details of that are in the GPU-Z sensor log.

The stated reproduction process may not be a problem in itself, but it has been happening with other games without running two things at the same time (i.e Youtube videos and a Game) and obviously that is quite frustrating at times..

With a clean Windows setup and not overheating, first suspect would be the video card failing. Unfortunately without being able to test it in another system the only thing you can do is get another one and see if that fixes the issue.
Did you check for updated drivers? Or did this start happening after a driver update? You can try removing the drivers, running DDU to fully wipe them and then installing the last version that was not crashing. Check temps in the system to make sure nothing is overheating. If anything is overclocked set it to stock speeds. Test the card in another computer if you can, test another card with similar power use in yours.
 
I recently DDU' cleaned the drivers and installed the newest of drivers. It has been happening ever since I reinstalled everything (full new windows install, complete wipe) with every driver, even the ones working previously. I checked the temps for everything and couldnt see anything overheating. I never touched the clock speeds since I bought the card, so I doubt anything is off there. I sadly don't have the opportunity to either test it in another computer or try another card in mine.
