    Hi @Aluminati it could be possible that by overclocking/underclocking the system became unstable. You mentioned "overclocking with MSI Afterburner does not work because when I klick the checkmark it jump's back to normal accept core voltage". I presume that the software didn't accept your changes (I'm not even certain Afterburner works with the RX 560X) but just to be safe, I downloaded it myself and saved the image with the default settings you should have for the RX 560X. You can try setting the values in the screenshot and applying with a reboot after to see if it helps when you launch the games again.

    Hi @Aluminati I'm going to recommend that you try updating your video card drivers using those supplied by AMD. Head over to https://www.amd.com/en/support and from the drop down menu select processors with graphics then AMD Ryzen processors and finally select your mobile processor (5 or 7) and processing unit (e.g AMD Ryzen 5 2500U). Once you've downloaded and installed the drivers, restarted the PC and logged back in, head into file explorer then right click This PC and go to properties. Click on device manager, expand display adapters and right click the Radeon RX 560 (if you see Radeon RX 560X then don't worry, just go straight to launching your games and testing to see if they work, otherwise continue the following) and go to update driver. Click browse my computer for driver software, then click on let me pick from a list of available drivers on my system (note this step will only work if you've installed the previous AMD Radeon drivers). Uncheck show compatible hardware and browse through the list until you see two RX 560Xs. Select the first one, click next and run through the driver installation, then reboot and head back into Windows. Try launching the various game titles which were giving issues before and let us know how it goes. :)
