Hey guys, I've been trying to solve the issues I've been having with my graphics card for a few days but no solutions I've read online have been helping. I cant find any scenarios that are explicitly like my situation as well.
A couple weeks ago my problem started, I can't exactly recall exactly when, but I noticed it began to occur around the time I updated my graphics drivers to 17.11.. I play all my games on borderless windowed / full-screen windowed and when I alt-tab out, my games will flash inverted colors (oranges / reds turn blue; blues turn orange) and then return to normal as if it didn't happen. I thought it was odd but it wasn't giving me any problems so I figured it was just a problem with the driver and it would eventually be patched. A few days ago however I ran into another problem. When in a game and watching youtube videos on my second monitor, if I try to put the videos on full-screen WHILE in game, my display freezes. Any audio playing continues fine, but in order to get out of the freeze i need to reboot. This problem doesn't occur if the video is already full-screen and THEN I launch the game and play. The problem also doesn't occur 100% of the time, I'd say only 30-40% of the time if I had to guess. In the time I've been trying to solve these issued AMD released a new driver as well and now I'm on version 17.12.1 now.
I attempted all of the troubleshooting outlined by vileynye here:

Uninstalling and reinstalling drivers and AMD software didn't work. Operating system is fine. Hard drive is fine. Ram is fine. GPU and CPU are not overheating (hottest temps around 60-65 degrees). Windows is recognizing the graphics card. No viruses.
And some information on my system:
