So, I have an AMD R9 200 series card and I keep crashing. Doesn't matter what game I'm playing after about 30 minutes or so, I start lagging and then crash. I get horizontal lines across my screen and sometimes it will go to desktop and there will be an error box saying directx failed or hungup.. I can never get a screenshot of the error message cause my pc ends up crashing!

I've tried to update my drivers as well but it fails to update to the latest..
 
"I've tried to update my drivers as well but it fails to update to the latest.." <- That is slightly concerning.

Are your temperatures okay, though? (you can also post full system specs)
 
Sounds like something is broke in your PC cause stopping after 30 min it doesn't even have the time to warm up high enough... And the fact that you can't update it kind of confirms it. You might want to do a diagnostic of you machine to know witch part is toasted...
 
Try uninstalling Graphics Card driver and reinstalling them other than that your GPU might be Goosed
 
Already uninstalled and reinstalled drivers. I can't find the screenshot I took of the failed update.

My temps seem fine.

Here are my specs:

ADATA XPG V3 4GB DDR3 2133 MEMORY
WD BLACK2 DUAL DRIVE 2.5" 120GB SSD W/1 TB HDD
ASETEK 550LC 120 MM WATERCOOLER
GIGABYTE GA-970A-DS3P AM3+CROSSFIRE USB 3.0 SATA3
EVGA 600 WATT 80 PLUS POWER
AMD RADEON R9 270X 2GB PCI-E 3.0
WINDOWS 8.1 64 BIT
AMD FX-8320 3.5GHZ EIGHT CORE

Also uploaded a screenshot I managed to get when it crashed to desktop.
