So, your hardware is good enough which is good to know 🙂
From your dxdiag I can see your DllHost.exe has crashed. This is a Windows file and it should not crash, so just to be sure lets do a quick check on your Windows installation:
Check Windows for Errors
To scan your Windows installation for errors open a command prompt with admin rights and run the command: "sfc /scannow". A more detailed guide on how to do this can be found here:

Please tell if it found anything.
Now, especially the last screenshot you linked looks like classic artifacting, this can be caused by a lot of things. The most common is that your graphics card runs too hot. Have you tried measuring it's temperatures while the problem occours? It could also be the first signs of a dying graphics card but lets hope not.
As from the AMD services still running your motherboard and CPU is still AMD based so be careful 🙂
The graphics card is only a month or so old, so I certainly hope it's not dying. That artifact does not happen on all maps, and has only appeared on two that I've tried so far. Loading up another game just now, it was not present and the sky appeared normal, but the buildings were still mostly invisible.
I do not know how to check my GPU temp, but the CPU is running in normal range and I do not have issues running other games on my PC.
I left the AMD processes alone and have not touched the drivers yet, so no worries about being careful there. 😕mileytongue:
The scan just completed, it stated "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them. Details are included in the CBS log." I found the log and at the end, it states: 2015-05-26 11:02:25, Info CSI 00000907 [SR] Verify and Repair Transaction completed. All files and registry keys listed in this transaction have been successfully repaired
I'm not sure if anything was repaired or not, as windows is contradicting itself...
http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/ is a good universal tool for checking temperatures.
As for the Windows Error Checking tool that message means it found more than one "broken" windows files and were only able to fix some of them. You should keep restarting and running the tool again until it has fixed them alll and comes up with no errors. You might need to boot into safemode to fix it all:

GPU seems to be running at around 50c during gameplay. http://i.imgur.com/Q6Ko8PT.jpg This is the best that the game will look, and it only randomly appears this way and lags terribly. Not only FPS, but actual lag.
I have repaired windows with this method 5 times and restarted after each and it continues to give the same message, stating that there are files that could not be repaired. I will try a few more times and if this does not resolve the problem, I will have to wait until tomorrow to remove and reinstall the graphics driver.
Is there anything else I should try before then? Thank you for your assistance so far.
Did you try doing the Windows repair in safe mode?
Also, a quite easy thing to do is the clean boot. Basiclly you make sure all background applications that aren't from Microsoft don't start and try a non Punkbuster enabled server.

I will await your results 🙂 Good luck.
