sounds like a problem with your video card. try reseating it and updating drivers.

take it out of your motherboard and put it back in. also check your card's manufacturer website and there should be drivers if you search for your model.

You take out your GPU from the motherboard and put it back in. You should really dust it off with a compressor or sth like that.
Before you take it out, touch the metal part of your case so you're grounded, and you should check new drivers from the AMD site.

I do have the latest version of the drivers. Could it be overheating, because when this happened the first time i turned the pc back on and it did not work i had to wait like 20 mins and then it worked. (i turned it off and on again)

Go to the store you bought it from (Gotta have a warranty) and return it...
If you bought it online then contact Gigabyte or the company you bought it from and ship it back.
