I've had this problem for a while but i've just kinda avoided it but now it's really starting to bug me.
So I have a Dell Inspiron 5759 and everytime i play a game on minimum settings, it goes to a black screen and shuts down. This happens for games such as Smite and Fortnite, and when i turn my laptop back on, the fan is extremely loud and fast for 5 seconds. I really want to be able to play something without my laptop crashing!

The 5759 has AMD Radeon R5 M335 graphics, which unfortunately is terrible for gaming. It's well below minimum system requirements for most/all modern day games.

In case you've had this system for awhile, I'd suggest using some compressed air in the vents to dislodge any dust buildup. I'd then keep the laptop on a cooling pad & any game you attempt to run, try at the lowest graphical settings. Other then that, just make sure all drivers are up to date.
