You can't measure the output on your power supply, but you can check it is rated high enough for your system by calculating what your system needs and then looking at the power supply specification.
TO be honest though, if your power supply was the problem I'd expect a blank monitor output or a PC shutdown when the issue occurs rather than a driver crash.
I would uninstall your display drivers and choose a "clean install" when re-installing the latest drivers.

Check your motherboard user manual from the correct slot to use with your graphics card. It is typically the 16 lane slot closest to the CPU.
I think you should clean up the drivers and ensure the latest drivers are installed before worrying about hardware. Don't use BETA drivers.

Without hardware its very difficult. Sometimes we always miss grounding issues. best way to check is visually.
