This often happens when playing video games, it doesn't matter which, and doesn't happen every time I play certain video games but every once in a while I'll be in a LoL game and the game and whatever I'm looking at on my second monitor freezes, all audio continues, and my mouse still moves. After 3-5 seconds it black screens and audio cuts out. Any clues or help?

Could be because of high temperatures .
I would like you to monitor your gpu and cpu usage along with their temperatures using msi afterburner .

CPU clocks in at a 62°C idle and 76°C under the same stress. It's the i7 4930k

The temperature seems a bit high though but shoudn't be the cause of your problem .
Refer to this forum :- https://ccm.net/forum/affich-27268-black-screen-with-cursor

So would I create an Image of the current files (in full) or completely factory reset?
