My computer freezes after using it for a while. It happens while playing games and it also happens when I am just using the computer normally. The computer will start to lag and then the monitor turns black. The pc stays running but it doesn't show anything on the monitor. Once I restart the computer everything is fine again. All the parts in the pc are new because I built it myself a few months ago. I think it might be a problem with the motherboard but I'm not sure.
