Whenever I'm playing games my computer will turn both screens grey and pink or something and then shut off. I've updated drivers, checked temperatures, tried underclocking slightly and everything that i could possibly think of to get it back to working. It usually happens 5-10 minutes into playing games. Thanks for any help in advance!

It sounds like your GPU is defective and producing artifacts. Try reinstalling GPU drivers and using on-board graphics. If that fixes your issue, RMA your graphics card.
