Windows 10: Internet works fine on my PC, but I cannot play online games. Can anyone help?

I can use Google, YouTube, Wikipedia, and other internet tasks, but I cannot play any online games. For some games such as Warthunder and World of Warships, it will let me log in and get into a game, but it will not let me control any ships/planes, and then it kicks me out with a "unable to connect to network" message. Other games like Overwatch and Helldivers I can't even log into. The wifi is not the problem, as nobody else in my household is having this issue. My brother also has a gaming PC and he has been just fine. I have reset my computer, done a DNS flush, turned the firewall on and of

Monitor loses Connection while playing Games, Pc works fine though?

Hey since a few days I have the problem that my Monitor loses connection to my PC up to 10 Minutes after I started a game, saying "No signal". My PC is still running, I can still hear the ingame-Sound from my Headset. This only happens when I play a Game, I can be on my PC for hours browsing the Internet (not playing a game) and nothing happens. Additionally, I tried playing the Games "Observation", "Surviving Mars", "Deep Rock Galactic" and "Fission Superstar X". For the first three, It happened after around 5-10 Mins. The last one I played for like 25 Minutes with nothing happening. The last game is a really simple 2D-Game, so maybe the Problem has something to do with the Workload that my Pc has when playing a Game? Im going to try playing Overwatch now and see if it happens there also, will update.

-Plugging the Cable from my Monitor to my Pc out and in doesnt fix it.
-I even switched the Cable with another one and it still happens, so It cant be the Cable.
-I also doubt that my Monitor is the problem.
-I already completely de- and reinstalled my Graphics Driver and that didnt help either.

I dont really know what I could try now. My Pc is a bit dusty, I am going to buy a can of air to dedust it. I hope that will work but Im not sure.

Do you have any other suggestions what It could be and how to fix it?
