Whenever i launch a game i am met with a black screen and a dead computer that boots up again after a couple of seconds. I have noticed that this error occurs more often when i play games with my controller plugged in (PS4 controller). Though it has happened numerous times without the controller as well. If you have any idea how to fix it please don't hold back. I will more than gladly answer any and all questions regarding the issue.
 
Solution
It should not be as tight as possible. It should have instructions how much you tighten the screws.

It can be a faulty GPU but it wouldn't restart right away. More probably will show black screen or display artifacts.

As I mentioned before, shutdowns and restarts are mostly caused by power or thermal issues.

Do you have any overclocks on the CPU?

When was the last time you cleaned the case? Actually what case do you have and how many fans and their positions?
I don't believe i have any overclocks
i just switched case and cleaned everything then so two weeks ago or so
i have 6 fans
2 for cpu cooler in the "roof" or top of the case
3 fans on the front (or on the side where the power button is
and 1 in the back of the case placed as close to the top as i could

Was the problem of the restart from before switching the case or after? The CPU temp seems high with no overclock and so many fans. You might have put the CPU cooler wrong/not tight enough, with not enough thermal paste or it's starting to fail.

The problem was before i switched case, thats why i switched actually since i thought my pc didnt have a good enough airflow
I am pretty damn sure there is enough thermal paste on there but if the cpu cooler itself is on right i dont know, i just tightened it as much as i could
do you think it could be a problem with the GPU? Since UserBenchMark only crashes when it appears on the screen plugged into my graphics card

It is thumb screws so in naturally only used My hands, so i dont think its that, i can check if ya want.

Both My screens do turn Black along with All rgb in The pc itself (apart from The Motherboard)

So what do you suggest i do?

If you dont want anymore info that is
 
I really can't be sure of what your issue is. You should try another PSU in your system to rule that out. You can also try your GPU in another system.

The part that the rgb are shutting down makes it a bit more probable to be a power related. Can't be sure though.
