My hp touchsmart 520-1040a "blacks out" whenever playing games like CSGO and Rocket League although I my PC is still running.I have been monitoring my GPUs tempurature and the highest I've recieved is 105c although it is usually at max 90c under stress and around 65c - 70c while idle. I am suspecting broken hardware since my family has had it for around 6 years before we cleaned it.
 
Solution
Clean it up and try it on the top of a desk or floor. Don´t put it in a bed or anything that could block the ventilation. Last call would be switching the cooler and the thermal paste.

I'm unsure since I can hear one of my fans spinning really fast whenever my pc is under stress. Although, I am hesitant to open it since its an all-in-one. Also by clean, I vacuumed the vents like it recommends on the HP website.
