Hi Guys,
Casual reader, first time poster and PC noob that could use some advice.
2 weeks ago I'd purchased what some would call a low to mid tier gaming pc, something cost efficient was needed for the purpose of video editing with some casual gaming on the side, nothing fancy Just something easy to access to change small cost efficient parts and learn for when I do attempt to build a gaming pc in future.
Wasn't entirely sure this was the correct thread to post but my assumption is this problem stems from hardware overheating so here it goes..
The Problem
Screen periodically going black for a few seconds with no particular trigger and returning to normal after 3 seconds. A nuisance but nothing major.
Now... When Running Overwatch on the optimal settings based on the Geforce experience client, the game runs smoothly with no issues for a few minutes, 10-15 mins into gaming later, my screen will simply go black and the sound will simply lock to whatever sound effect was playing before the problem triggered.
I will sit there for a few mins and the screen will not return to normal nor with the sound stop, forced shutdown was the only option available.
Specifications:
Processor: Intel Core I7-3770 @ 3.40GHz
16gb ram
Running windows 10 64bit
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050
Motherboard: HP 1791 I (as per baseboard product info on system information)
Casing: HP Z200 SFF workstation (Quite literally a School PC case hahaha)

*tinypic down ? couldn't host image under normal circumstances I apologise.
Intended outcome
Would really appreciate the community's help in identifying if the issue, if it is cooling related or if it stems from something else and if any hardware changes are necessary. Any and all advice would be genuinely appreciated I'm interested also learning any tools/apps or troubleshooting steps you guys would take so I can apply it to my own knowledge.
If you guys need anymore info let me know, Cheers and thanks again.
