Hey! I built my own computer about a week ago and ive had a problem since. Every once and a while after a little bit of gaming (3-4 hours usually) my screen just goes black and it just stays like that, I restart the computer with the power button and it does the same thing when it loads back up, the motherboard loads in with the options to get into BIOS but after that windows does not load. I was wondering, Could this be a heating issue withen the CPU maybe? do i need another fan? I already have a Hyper 212 EVO heat sink on the cpu but i dont really know what is wrong with it. This has only happened 2-3 times in the last 3 weeks that ive had the computer. I've had no other problems otherwise with the PC. I will leave a complete partslist below if there are any incompatibility's

Thank you :D

Could be an issue with your graphics card also? I suggest you check all of your temperatures and see if anything is getting hotter than say 85 degrees Celsius before crashing, if that is the case you may have an overheating issue.
