First of all, I apologize for the very vague title, I don't really know how to describe this issue with just the title.
Anyways, I'll start off with two links. I may not describe it clearly, so I just recorded the issue once it occurred. And the second link will be my specs.

To describe it briefly, as far as I can tell it only occurs when I play games. I've surfed the web on it for extended periods of time and I've had no issues with it, but once I start a game, and play it for a little bit, it can range anywhere from 10 minutes to 2 hours, the monitor freezes, the keyboard and mouse both lose power, and the sound goes out.
But the computer stays on, well, the only thing I can tell are that the fans and LEDs stay on, can't say anything about anything else.
I've looked around the internet for someone with the same problem but I can't seem to find it, or I'm not putting the right words in the search bar or something. I've actually posted before here to find a solution, but I didn't supply nearly as much information as I did this time, so I can't really say anything about it.
I've also checked to make sure that my drivers are updated, and they are, but that didn't solve the problem either.
It should be noted that I've had issues before with the motherboard I had previously, and I had to end up replacing it with the one I have currently.
This is also my first built PC, and my only other PC is one from a long, long time ago, so I don't have any extra parts to test to see which one is working properly and whatnot.
Sorry for the wall of text, I just wanted to provide as much information as possible to help you help me.
**TL;DR:** Computer freezes while playing games, but not on the internet as far as I know. Couldn't find fix on the internet. Drivers are updated. Had previous issues with previous motherboard. First built PC. No extra parts to test with.
Thanks in advance.
