amd hardware graphics acceleration quit working with no clear cause

today i had problems with my keyboard/usb ports, which was quickly resolved, but when i logged back onto the system i got a message (image i linked in the attachments), but i havent changed anything besides resetting my user password (thru root terminal in safemode) and changing out my keyboard.

my system was running fine for months since i installed linux mint 20.3, ive had no problems with graphics until today, but now the hardware acceleration is gone and my framerate is crap.

why would my gpu just stop working like that? i suspect there may be something wrong with my motherboard now.

i have had minor usb problems previously but if it has spread to the gpu i dont understand how.

gpu: Radeon R7 260X/360
os: linux mint 20.3 cinnamon
cinnamon version: 5.2.7
motherboard info: gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2 64bit
cpu: amd fx4300
