My PC is randomly shutting off when I'm playing games, and I'm getting black screens. The fans get really loud before it happens, and then it just shuts off completely. I've already applied new thermal paste and cleaned out my computer. It's been a few years since I bought it, and this issue has only started in the last couple of months. I can provide more specs if needed, but I really need help to save my gaming experience!

It might be worth reinstalling Windows to see if that resolves the issue. If it still happens after that, then definitely look into getting a new PSU. I've had to deal with similar problems, and changing the PSU made a big difference for my setup.
What's your PSU model and how old is it? Knowing if it's getting old could help a lot, especially if it's 4+ years. Also, consider that your GPU might be contributing to those crashes.
I've experienced something similar! Make sure to check your PSU (power supply unit) model and age. I upgraded mine and that fixed my issues. Since it sounds like your fans go crazy before shutting down, it could be your PSU struggling under load.
