-1. "Complete" system specs should ALWAYS be accompanied with any driver, hardware, or performance question. Do not post DXDiag reports as they contain a TON of useless information. Posting a DxDiag in place of a System Spec List tends to ward off potential members from helping you.
Please supply the following system details/information:
(Complete System Specs)
-CPU make and model# (clock speed/voltage, type of cooler, and "Core" temperature @ idle and load)
-Motherboard make & model# (include Bios version if graphics card is not recognized or you are having stability issues)
-RAM (amount, clock speed, model#/link of kit, configuration)
-Graphics card(s) make and model# (clock speed, voltage if modified, Driver version and GPU temp both @ idle and load)
-Power supply make,model#, "AND" age (note if using 110V or 220V A/C input)
-HDD/SSD configuration (ie: Raid setup/ back up/ OS drive/etc..)
-Case/Chasis make,model# (fan make, model#, and configuration if having thermal issues)
-Operating System (If using Windows note Framework and service pack version)
-Monitor make, model#, and resolution (If model# is unknown list resolution and refresh rate)
*If the unit is a "laptop" or "All-in-one" system you must note the make and model# of the unit. Be sure you are ALWAYS using the OEM/manufacturer's Driver updates for the unit.
*If "Crashing":
-Note the nature of the "crash" in detail, as there are several definitions for the word "crash".
*If "performance" related issue:
-Note the "exact" point in which the performance reduction occurred (ie: After Windows update, After Bios update, After Driver update, After thermal system shutdown, After Hardware change/upgrade etc...)
*For diagnostic purposes please disable the following:
-Any/all Antivirus/ Anti-malware software
-Any/all OSD monitoring software
-ALL overclocks outside of factory spec .

Welcome to the forums my friend!
Please post your entire system spec including PSU make and model.
Have you monitored CPU and GPU temperatures under load?
Do you have latest drivers installed (not using a third party driver installer)?
Do you have latest BIOS installed?

PSU: Corsair VS550 550w
I have monitored temperatures and its al good.
My gpu temp. doesnt go higher than 75 degrees Celsius and my cpu temp. doesnt go higher than 50 degrees.
I installed all newest drivers on my gpu and motherboard.

I built my pc three weeks ago and all parts were new except for CPU so I installed newest BIOS.
My problem is happening when I play games only not when I am surfing online.

It could be.
Remember the PSU wattage is useless without quality - just look at point 1 here: https://forums.tomshardware.com/thr...when-selecting-parts-for-a-custom-pc.3510178/
The VS series are a budget line not overly made for gaming rigs / high load rigs.
Not saying it is, but it could be.

Firstly i would remove GPU and run on integrated to see if the black screens still occur.
Being as you can only replicate it in games, unfortunately we can't really test safe mode.
However it may be worth running Furmark to see if you can replicate the issue and might help identify if it is GPU.

Because the PSU is the thing that provides all of the power to every other component. its taking AC from the wall which is high in variation, and trying to regulate it, so it's the gatehouse between the wall and your components. You only need fluctuation of about 5% on any PSU rail for it to have adverse affects on your PC.
At simplest terms, how the PSU powers your component can cause said component to do crazy things.
Don't get me wrong, I would sooner be looking at your GPU based on what you have described, thus the tests I have described above.
Poor quality PSUs are renowned for dying and taking out other components with them. Now the VS likely wouldn't be a ticking time bomb, but it's a budget PSU not really made for higher rigs, and i certainly have seen it cause multiple problems in the past, such as taking out other components, and causing blackouts etc.
But test the GPU first

How long did you run it for?
How often do your crashes occur? In every game or just certain games?

It happened in Apex Legends, Fortnite and CSGO.
I have run it for 1 min because thats how long it took to complete test 100%

It's not a guarantee, but might just nudge us in the right direction if it does have a problem.Oh sorry wrong test then.
I will stress it now and let you know the results

Hey I have done test, now
First time it started spinning insanely fast and crashed on 5 min when I pressed ctrl+esc and then on second test it went well for 30 min.

Well you only need 1 fail.
This would probably indicate there could be a GPU or PSU issue.
Easiest way to test would be to try the GPU in another machine or another GPU in your machine and retest.

Hey I havent put GPU in other machine yet but I did stress test again and it was all fine but again after I pressed ctrl+esc GPU went crazy.
Do you have any idea why is it happening after pressing?
I will try stress test again like I did with pressing and see if it happens again.
