My PC over the last few months has been acting up, when playing games such as GTA V and The Division my PC freezes, black screens then proceeds to restart or totally crash. Lately games such as CSGO and FM 16 has also been crashing on me. I am not that computer smart, any help would be appreciated thanks.

Specs :

MSI AMD R7 370

Hyper X Fury 8GB DDR

EVGA 500W Power Supply

Seagate Barricuda 1TB Hard Drive 3.5 Inch

AMD FX 8320 9 core processor 3500hz

 
Solution
What I would do is....

Run a benchmark in a loop, windowed like:
https://unigine.com/products/benchmarks/valley/

then use something like HWmonitor from cpuid https://unigine.com/products/benchmarks/valley/
And watch your temps. Your pc may be shutting down to protect itself.

For example mine is set to 85c in my bios.

If temps are high change the thermal compound and clean/check fans.

If temps are good, use a graphics card uninstaller and install / clean install your drivers.
