Graphics card crashing

So I bought a new desktop a few months ago, and when I first got it there was a lot of crappy drivers and stuff from the manufacturer on it that I didn't want, so I did a reinstall, and everything has been working fine since. However the last few days my machine has been crashing. My screens turn black, if I have music on I can't hear anything, and I have to do a reboot. When I get back in, Windows display a dialog saying it has recovered from a unexpected crash. I attempted to look into the issue, thinking it was perhaps my CPU overheating, but it was steadily running between 30-35C aswell as my mobo. My graphics card however was running very high around 70-90C (there is no dust on the card or inside the chassis). This is without overclocking and GPU fanspeed on high. After doing some "research" on google, it seemed like other people were seeing the same temperatures without it being a problem. I have a GTX780 and I have 2 screens connected through DVI-Dual Link running 144hz (Benq XL-2420T). I've got the latest drivers and everything seems to be in order, this is the only thing that to me could be the source of the crashes. I have a closed water cooling system in my chassis, that I can run at full speed and the card will cool down to ~70C, but it makes a lot of noise and it shouldn't be necessary.

Currently with the chassis fan set to turbo (one step below full speed), it is running at 70C, but as soon as I run a game it's gonna go up to ~85-90C+ (it shuts down the computer to prevent damage at 95C I believe). Something must be wrong with my settings or something, because when I bought this card, I at the very least assumed it could run games on high quality without overheating.

Usually if I have problems I can just find some solution (usually from this site, hence the post) on google, but didn't really find anything for this. Assistance is much appreciated.
