If you did it manually there could be traces of the old drivers left over so you should always use DDU to uninstall drivers, and if you didn't uninstall drivers at all you should definitely use DDU and reinstall the latest drivers
Something else you could try is limiting your GPU by lowering the power limit either through amd's software or something like msi afterburner, I would also check your temps (not sure if too high of temps could cause this issue or not but its always good to check especially on a old and power hungry card like the 290x)
Ive left the drivers as they are, limited power down 5% in msi afterburner and saw an improvement in stability but not enough. Dropped it down a further 3%, limited clock speed and memory slightly, and manually set fan speed to keep the temperature down and its been completely stable for almost 24 hours now. Completed 4 work units and around 400k points.
I just find it strange that it used to fold fine without limiting the power, and now it wont. At least Im back folding
