Question PC freezes while playing some games

After 2-3 hours, sometimes less, of playing games such as PUBG Lite or Skyrim it makes this weird sound and it freezes completely so i have to manually restart it...sometimes it freezes and shuts off by itself also...I'm using Windows 7. Specs:

Let's start with complete PC specs; that block only tells us you have an FX-8320 and the very barest of information as to your RAM.

And how did you obtain this copy of Windows?

It doesn't help that you likely have a pirated install. That can cause issues. You should talk to your brother and ask how he got it. It's very rare to see Windows Ultimate in consumer PCs and even legit copies don't allow you to just share with others.

In the case that this is a pirated install, the first thing to do is to wipe the hard drive and install a full, fresh copy of a legal Windows edition. Then re-evaluate your situation.

As to the parts, you can use tools like Speccy, but things like power supply, you need to either ask your brother or open up the PC and look at it.
