Black screen happens sometimes during gaming. Some games like counterstrike are fine and it never happens but for example, playing valheim will randomly black screen after 10 mins or after 3 hours of playing. The audio will cut out for a second and then resume and I can still hear as well as talk to people in discord or in-game if it happens in a game with voice chat. Not a loose cord or anything I can't change the display or fix the cord and go back to whatever I was doing. When it happens all I can do is restart my PC and then it's fine until it happens again. I checked windows updates as well as graphics card drivers and no luck. It only happening on certain games leads me to believe there's no way it's my monitor or cable. Not sure what else to do and it's been an issue for a while. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Another example would Catan the board game that I have on steam. Initially, without putting in a launch code to change the display it would black screen every time after a second of starting up. Not a graphicly intensive game but would still cause the issue of black screening

EDIT: DDU did not work
EDIT: Stress tests with kombuster unable to replicate the issue. Temp can get high but still won't black screen
