Whenever I would boot into windows normally, the screen would just go black after starting up immediately and my gpu would get loud. I tried using my Ubuntu usb stick and when I used that, my monitor said "No connection" so the screen wasn't working for some reason with that. So I went into safe mode and everything worked fine and I decided to uninstall my gpu driver.
Doing this made it so I could finally go into windows normally, but after 1-3 minutes, my screen would like graphically crash and my gpu would start running like crazy loud. To test if this was just my display / graphics, I used my phone to remote to my pc before the crash happened and it turns out my whole computer ends up crashing, so I have to press the power button to shut down.
Something that I feel might be the problem is before this started happening, I installed this game by HiRez Studios called Paladins. Paladins installed some pre-req stuff like directx and other things like that. As I was playing Paladins, the game would cause my computer to have a graphical crash like I've mentioned before. I just figured it was the game and no big deal so I would just hold down the power button and start it up again, play a bit more, crash, and repeat. Eventually I got tired of this and decided to try updating my drivers. This didn't change anything. I tried changing the graphic quality of the game and then no more crashes happened. Then today I decided to play a game called Heroes of the Storm. 6-7 minutes into the game I get a crash like before and am shocked because I thought it was just Paladins. After that crash I have been unable to really use my computer unless it's in safe mode. The bios settings work perfectly fine. I'm not sure if I need to buy a new cpu or gpu or anything but please help me.
