try another/older/newer catalyst. Also, may be power (i mean shitty corsair psu - i dont trust them) issue

PSU hmmmm is a little to difficult to try another one, my budget is too low now for a new psu but i will buy a new one because i need to chage it even or else sometime latter this year {is new the psu i had it two years but i want to buy a second one }.

it may be the psu, but try to switch on 2-3 driver versions first. Also check if 8+6 pin r both connected to the card

the crazy thing is that is certified by amd that was the reason i bought it

let's deal with software first, then we shall see

i dont think someone can blame the monitor when the gpu stop working

Open your cases plug the vacuum, remove your video card, remove the heat sink(look if heat grease is dry, if try remove it and put another one, if you don't have, nothing is better then a dried one), KEEP THE SCREW SOME WERE THE VACUUM CANT REACH(:D already made that mistake lol), use vacuum on heat sink(get a vacuum that long hair on the brush), put back everything as it was and the problem is fix.

Overheating may be a problem. When we dumb it down all computer parts are still made of real components that steer electricity and 0/1 switches. They deteriorate. Best is to clean of dust, maybe replace thermal paste, make sure all fans are working.
Notice I said may be, it could be a lot of reasons. Software or drivers can be the cause but are easier to test (as you did).
Sources: I have had a hard drive give up, a graphics card give up on me, sound card start acting up so I can differentiate when something acts up. :D
Heating does become a problem the more older a computer gets, microfaults on the chipset and circuit ways and dust you didn't quite clean out in odd places start to affect the overall heating. Thermodynamics are a beach.

I have the occasional graphical artifacts/color changes to a black screen and reset, but it's due to drivers. Every since Nvidia screwed up their drivers, this annoyance has been going on. Dunno if they'll ever fix it, but at least the driver doesn't fry cards, anymore.

Recently my pc started to do a weird thing.Everytime I play a game watch a video or whatever else happens this:my monitor turns green or white or black and if i am lucky i take only just a gpu has stopped and has been recovered "or something like that".
I tried these:
a)format disk and instal OS again windows 7 and 8 64 bit and instal clean drivers
b)benchmark my cpu gpu memory. all stress test passed withought problems
c)change bios from main to back up the same thing happened
d and last)changes gpu and nothing bad happened
So i ended that it was my gpu the one who has problem but before send it for fix could someone tell me to try something else such as change hdd or something like that{first time i got this error was in the released day of Battlefield 4}
EDIt:my specifications
intel i5 3570k
Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H
Sapphire Dual-X 7970 OC edition
2 Tera HDD western digital
8 gb memory corsair vengeance
PSU: 850M watt corsair
EDIT 2:As Far i have try
1)clean install of older working drivers{the newewest didnt worked either}
2)stress test my gpu and of course failed to keep stressing even for 2 minutes
3)cleaned the whole pc with a vacuum and run strees test {this time it worked}->this seams to work until now
