My computer has been having this problem for a few days now. I will be playing a game (Has happened on CSGO and Player Unknown's Battlegrounds) for around 10 minutes and the screen will glitch for a second and go black. The fans start to rev really loud (louder than they ever have). The keyboard, mouse, and headset are still functional. I end up turning off the computer and restarting. I tested the temperatures during this and found that it only reaches around 65 degrees Celsius at most before this happens. Could this be my graphics card? Is there anything I can check? Pleases Help.

Specs:
Intel Core i7 6700k
Dell (Computer came pre-built) Motherboard (Model 0XJ8C4)
16 GB of DDR4 Ram
GIGABYTE G1 Gaming Geforce GTX 1080
PSU: 750G

does this only happen when gaming? Have you tried to stress test you CPU and GPU separately? I ask because it will help in pin pointing the problem. First start stressing you CPU, then your GPU, if either one of those recreate the issue then you know whats causing the problem. If they work and pass the stress test individually then stress them both at the same time if that causes the screen to go black then you may have an issue with your PSU.

Alright. I tried stress testing my CPU, and after about 5 minutes the package was up to ~69/70 degrees and was clocking 3990-4000 MHz. I'm not really sure what to look for, but this is what I think would be helpful. The CPU did not shut down the computer.

EDIT: I used Prime95 to stress it and HWMonitor to view the temperatures and clocks.

I just finished stress testing my gpu using FurMark. I set it to 4k (My monitor) and started it up. The link is a screenshot of 5 minutes into the test.
