My computer has not crashed in years but the other day I downloaded valorant and after i restarted my PC, any game i played would crash after about 5-15 minutes of play time. CSGO would crash on around round 3-5. Call of duty crashes while im loading into a game or randomly after a couple minutes in a match. Valorant crashed before i could finish the tutorial. They all just go to a black screen on both my monitors but i can ususally still hear games sounds for a bit, and the computer doesnt restart, just stays black screen for at least 5 minutes before i turn it off. None of the games i usually play crash, sometimes lag but never crash. Now they are crashing everytime. I have uninstalled valorant and vanguard anti cheat but its still continuing. Please help I have no idea whats wrong or how to fix it without wiping my C drive.
What I've done so far:
-I have used malwarebytes and avast full systems scan. I ran a windows system scan through cmd and it found issues but could not resolve them.
-Updated graphics drivers
-checked temps while running, nothing goes above 80C
-cleaned entire pc
-reseated all connections
