This is so annoying because my monitor keeps turning off and there is no signal and I cannot move anything or do anything and I have to restart the whole pc. This only happens when I play games mostly the screen would just turn off at random times and I would have to restart the whole pc.

This could be due to many issues. But, it sounds to me like it may be due to a temperature problem. First check your fans. Then:

That being said, try monitoring the temperatures, download this https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html and this MSI Afterburner

If that's the issue, I daresay you should either repaste the CPU or GPU yourself or take it to a specialist.
Yea I guess I would have to take it to a specialist because there is no way I'm doing that.
