Windows 10: Microsoft Flight Simulator causes my pc to crash.

So what happens is when I play Microsoft Flight Simulator it causes my PC to crash after a minute or two of playing it. The way it crashes is both of my two monitors turn off and the fans from my pc start going at high speeds. MFS doesn't only crash when I play it but it also crashes when I am playing another game, so just because the game is installed it's also having the same effects on other games even if MFS isn't turned on. I thought maybe because the game is too powerful and my pc can't hold it even though I got an RTX 3070 and i7. So I tried many methods and none worked. So I restarted
