Every time i play a game my computer freezes with a black screen, sometimes it restarts but mostly it doesn't, i don't understand why it is doing this when it isn't even old, i cant think that anything is getting to hot but im not particularly a computer expert so i really need some help with this!!!

Sounds to me like cpu overheating, check for dust bunnies. Dust is a heat trapper 
NOTE: make sure to check temps when under heavy load, like games.

Did you buy this PC or build it yourself?
If you purchased it then contact the seller - they would be the best folk to sort the problem.
If you build it yourself then reconfirm all motherboard connections. Make sure the gfx card (if present) is properly connected and that the psu is fit for purpose - will it easily power all components under load?

The CPU doesn't get to hot, i checked it and it stays at around 50C, and I bought the PC, it has a ATI 7770, AMD FX 6300 six core processor so i don't i have bad parts in it, the psu is 750 watt surely thats enough to power everything?

So if there is no overheating problems, worst case scenario is that your power supply is faulty :/
The only other problem could be the GPU is overheating.
Do you mind showing us the details of you power supply and motherboard?

Yeah, give us the specs of that PSU. Specifically: Brand, number of +12v rails, and amperage on each rail. Wattage means nothing if your 12v rail can't supply enough amperage, and amperage means nothing if the PSU is from a poor quality manufacturer.
