I'm experiencing a frustrating issue with my PC where it freezes for a moment, then goes completely black every 30 to 40 seconds. I consider myself to be fairly clueless about tech stuff, and I think my computer might be outdated. I mainly use it for running Valorant, watching YouTube, and chatting on Discord, so nothing too intense. This started happening today, and it often leads to a crash and restart. I have checked my drivers, so I'm not sure what else to do.

It sounds like there could be a hardware issue going on. Given that you mentioned you're not too tech-savvy, I'd recommend taking it to a repair shop. They'll be able to diagnose it properly and see what’s wrong.
You might want to check if your SSD or NVMe drive has any firmware updates available. Sometimes those updates can help fix bugs like the one you're experiencing.
Before heading to a tech shop, there are simpler tests you can do yourself. Check if your PC is overheating or if there's a problem with your RAM. Sometimes it's just a matter of reseating the components.
