Windows 10: PC Black screens when opening or playing games but doesn't when not using for gaming.

Just like the title said. Every time i open any game, my screen just completely shuts off and the sound in the background just freezes and makes a continuous loud sound. Which is weird because I've stressed test my GPU and CPU separately at 100% usage but it doesn't get the black screen and only in games it did black screen.This has happened before but it seems to fix it after changing my ram but not there's no fix. I've had this PC for over 4 years now.Methods I've Tried- Reset the PC- Updated BIOS- Updated Drivers- Made sure cables inside PC are fully connectedPC SPECSCPU: Intel Core i5-9400
