Probably the PSU dying on you.

Try running a CPU stress test and see if it does it.
And then try running a GPU stress test and see if it does it.
And then do both at the same time if it still doesn't.

Your computer is extremely weak, so I'm surprised it runs any of those games really.

But if it was working and then stopped, that's your cheapo PSU dying.
