System:
Radeon Software Version - 19.7.5
Radeon Software Edition - Adrenalin 2019
Graphics Chipset - AMD Radeon (TM) R9 380 Series
GPU: AMD Radeon R9 380 XFX Double Dissipation 4GB
Memory Size - 4096 MB
Memory Type - GDDR5
Core Clock - 990 MHz
MOBO: H61M-P31/W8 (MS-7788)
Windows Version - Windows 7 (Service Pack 1) (64 bit)
System Memory - 8 GB
CPU Type - Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-3240 CPU @ 3.40GHz

So I've been getting these rapid BURSTS OF RED all over the screen when my GPU overheats above 80 Celsius. it doesn't do it when I cap the FPS to 30. Most high-end games will just overheat the GPU straight up. Sometimes it just sky rockets within minutes of being in a benchmark like Heaven. But the Red flashing is weird.

My question is: Is my GPU dying or is there just some kind of bottleneck with my old CPU?
My current cable management is terrible and my cables are all over the inside.
However, I am upgrading my system and case (for better management of cabling) but keeping my card.

Is my new monitor causing my GPU to overload? As I used to play on a TV monitor at 1366 x 768.

New projected system:

Radeon Software Version - 19.7.5
Radeon Software Edition - Adrenalin 2019
Graphics Chipset - AMD Radeon (TM) R9 380 Series
GPU: AMD Radeon R9 380 XFX Double Dissipation 4GB
Memory Size - 4096 MB
Memory Type - GDDR5
Core Clock - 990 MHz
Windows Version - Windows 10 (Home) (64 bit)
System Memory - 8 GB Hyperx fury DDR4 2666
MOBO: MSI B450 Tomahawk.
CPU Type -AMD Ryzen 5 - 1600 3.2 Ghz

Will my GPU still be an issue in terms of overheating and system failure for gaming at 1080p?

Would really appreciate the response.
