Product number is in the post header. Not certain when the last time it worked properly as I have not done anything graphics intensive. I would say the day before the post. I ran the Radeon update tool to get the most recent driver

I would be glad to help you with the issue you are facing today. I understand the difficulty with the problem. 

As you've performed relevant troubleshooting steps and the issue persists, this sounds like software driver related issue.
Windows 10 has a reset feature that repairs your computer by reinstalling the operating system. let's reinstall the windows operating system to isolate the issue.
