@chill1184 And this is why I had you do a clean boot in my first post to rule a program out , I take it you did not do all my steps lol.
@chill1184 As you could play BF1 before the video card driver update I would do a clean install of your old video card driver as they could have put out a semi bad driver. Or look to see if they now have a newer driver than the one you installed. I know this is not much help and for this I am sorry but it could be all due to a bad video card driver and nothing can be done until they make a new driver for your card. If your PC meets the recommended requirements for all the games you listed to give you issues then I would try a clean boot as well to be sure no program on your PC is helping to make the issue ... see below how to do this
The games to give you issues are high demanding games on PC parts and if your PC just meets the requirements the games will be hard to play for your PC sadly. For example for BF1 ...
Recommended Requirements this will play well anything lower in PC specs will make issues :/

@2042isNotBFWould you say that its possible that my graphics card is dying? Given that it can handle low end games no problem but with more graphic heavy ones it freezes?

Part of the issue is that your RAM is at the minimum needed to run newer games like BF1 and your CPU and GPU while above the minimum are on the lower end of the spectrum which may cause performance issues when run at higher settings. What settings are you running your game on? My bet is that your GPU is just getting outdated instead of dying or you'd have issues on old games as well.
@chill1184 I agree with @ragnarok013 if the card / part was dying it would effect all games. Try this for settings in BF1 once your in the load out. I play with video settings all the time as I am a Frams per second crazy person. You fully need more ram in your PC for BF1 as recommended is 16GB and you have 8GB but for now try this for in game settings in the loadout before you try and go into a game.. I don't know AMD cards at all but look in catalyst control center on your desktop and see if it has some type of setting to set the PC video card to to performance if it does set the PC video card to performance.
In catalyst control center look under gaming tab and performance etc anything to set it to performance over eye candy. As eye candy is useless when it comes to PC performance lol.
In game video settings Advanced right side set to custom and set everything to low for testing but turn off ....
1-antialiasing post off
2-ambient occlusion off
Also make sure GPU memory restriction is OFF
EDIT>>>> Will the game load out even load for you ?
See if this will help get you into game :]
@2042isNotBFYeah tried that and still the same thing, I upgraded my RAM to 8GB and I'm going to buy a more updated graphics card after Christmas and see if that helps. Will update on results
