Question Why does my monitor blackscreen when playing games?

Ever since I have gotten this pc, my monitor has been black screening whenever the graphics are too high or the frame rate is too high. For some games however, I have already selected the lowest resolution and still black screen after awhile. After black screening, I can still hear my audio from discord and can still talk to my friends but cannot do anything at all. In the end I would have to restart my pc everytime this happens.

My Pc specs are:
Ryzen 7 5700g
MSI a520m a pro (motherboard)
Ryzen 7 5700g radeon vega 8 integrated graphics
2x8 Klevv bolt 3600MHz
ID-COOLING SE-224-XT CPU Cooler
Super Flower Legion HX 650W 80plus Gold PSU
256GB C710 Klevv Nvme
1TB P300 Toshiba HDD 7200 RPM
Tecware nexus M case
3x Stock cooler fans from Tecware [2 front 1 back]

I'm on windows 10 pro 20H2 as well
Monitor is Acer Nitro VG272 S 27-Inch Full IPS HD (144Hz, 165Hz if overclocked but i don't do it)

Someone please help me I've been facing this issue for awhile. Thanks

Is there temperature monitoring?
Sometimes due to high temperatures
 
Are monitoring temps?

What resolution are you trying to game at on that monitor?

Hi I havent tried looking at the temps while gaming but usually the max temps during and after gaming hardly cross 70 degrees celcius (158 farenheit), usually hovering around the 60-68 degrees celcius. Even when using cinebench 20, it usually rises to around 68-70 degrees celcius.

Usually ever since this issue, I have been playing on 1280x720 (720p), but I really want to use 1920x1080 (1080p) without black screening. Is it possibly that 1080p is too demanding for the igpu to handle?

Thanks for the reply:,)
