GPU priority changes by it's self!

I have this problem since I bought my graphics card. In some games like DOOM or Far Cry 3 after a couple of minutes I get a black screen. The gpu priority switches to the on board graphics by it's self and I have to change it again in the BIOS menu. I installed the latest amd drivers with clean installation(DDU), nothing changes, I still have the same problem. The weird part is that I play battlefield 1 and mass effect andromeda for over a year now and it didn't happened once. Temperature seems fine(70 Celcius max)!

Specs:
CPU: i3 6100
GPU: Asus rx 470 4gb
MOBO: Asus H110 M-K
RAM:16 GB(Dual Channel)
PSU:Corsair vs series 550w
 
Solution


Replace the graphics card. Those odd colors are called artifacts and are indicative of a card's instability.

I'll try that thanks! If it is a setting issue wouldn't it crash on other games as well?


 

I tried to disable the on board via the device manager but on the display adapters I only see the RX 470 and not Intel HD. How come?
 


I am at Bios menu right now. There is no option to enable or disable the on board graphics. The only option is to choose the primary display. There are 3 choices :Auto, cpu graphics and PCIE. No matter how many times I set it to PCIE when I open bios menu it set to auto again..
 

I have some news! There is another option: iGPU Multi monitor and I enabled it. Now I can see the Intel Graphics at the device manager. Should I disable it via device manager now?
 


I wonder if there are any errors. The driver for the 470 may be crashing necessitating the integrated GFX to take priority.

Oh ok. Like I said I clean installed many times the amd drivers.. However I experience some weird "visual bugs" sometimes: The amd icon is shown double on the hidden icons bar, that happened before again. One time the screen went totally crazy and I saw some weird colours and abstract lines and stuff. I don't know..
 
The odd colour thing happened once while monitor was on sleep mode. As moved the mouse I saw theese colours and stuff, then I turned off and on and the problem was fixed. The thing is that this issue happens on certain games. I can play bf1 and m.e. andromeda for hours without crashing.
