Windows 10: The screen on my new computer setup keeps entering power save mode after a few minutes of...

I just bought a new setup(as I am **** with computers please excuse my attempt at explaining the different parts). I bought a screen, a keyboard, the computer itself and a mouse. The person I bought it off of is my cousin's boyfriend and he said there were a few problems that he would fix and updates he would do since it's an older computer and he hasn't used it in a while. He did those before I got it and he has not had my problem: The screen(monitor?) keeps entering Power save mode by itself, meaning I can still hear what I'm doing but can't see it. This often happens if I try playing a game for too long(5-15minutes at most) but happened yesterday after just watching a yt video. The only way I've found to stop this is by forcibly turning it off and waiting a few hours, as it won't respond to me trying to turn it on in any other way. How can I stop this?

power saving mode after a few minutes on gaming

My friend had a similar problem on his older desktop. if its similar it is a problem with your graphics card overheating or dying. two steps to take would be to open the computer and clean the graphics card cooler thoroughly. And second of all get a friends graphics card and try his in your computer. this will rule out completely any problems with your graphics card. Which i think it is.

Btw. its not your pc outputting "power saving mode". but instead its the monitor saying power saving mode since your graphics card is crashing and the screen is not recieving a signal and going to standby.
