Your power supply should be sufficient, you've now fixed the drivers. Use MSI Afterburner. The only other real possibility (which wouldn't involve the GPU fans spinning up to excess speeds) would be to make sure the RAM is properly seated, in the correct slots, and that they are dust free. Even dust so small you can't see it.

Yep I've been using MSI to monitor the temps in-game; nothing out of the ordinary so far as it hovers around 55.
RAM is fine my friend went in and double checked that everything was in fine and everything is new and cleaned so dust shouldn't be a problem for the time being.

So the problem has continued. I've done everything suggested so far but it crashed on me twice this morning while trying to load PUBG. I was only in the menu screen of the game for roughly 15 seconds with minimal running processes and the GPU was only at 55° before it repeated the black screen w/ fans running at maximum. Anything else you can think might help this?
