I just built my first pc.
Build went nice everything came together good, but I am having issues gaming.
I get a good 3-6 minutes of gaming before screen goes black and I have to restart.
It doesn't go black during anything else besides running games, any full screen game puts me into black screen.

Build:
CPU: i3-2120
GPU: Sapphire Radeon 6850
MOBO: ASRock Extreme z68

I would really appreciate any feedback on this matter, it''s very annoying.
