    Computer is giving me black screens while playing games


    When I play games on my computer, my screen goes black, my LED lights on my fan start flickering, and I can't do anything but turn off my computer and restart, and even when I restart, my LED lights are still flickering, and the same thing happens when I try and play a game, can somebody help me?

    :)
