So everything began two days ago while I was playing some CS on Faceit. Everything was fine until I started noticing FPS drops and eventually my screen went completely black, the monitor displayed "no signal," and I couldn't hear my friend on Discord anymore... I was really confused and restarted my PC using the restart button on the case. Once back online, I played again and Discord worked, but after a few rounds it started happening again—FPS drops followed by another black screen. Eventually, after a short pause, I could speak with my friend on Discord again, though afterward I couldn't connect anymore.

A day later, I tried playing another match with my friend, this time using matchmaking. In the middle of the game I experienced another black screen, no signal on the monitor, and I told my friend about it. He said he had lost a teammate (even though I couldn’t hear any in-game sounds except for his voice on Discord) and then he also couldn’t communicate with him again. I had to restart my PC once more.

Side note: After my PC entered full blackscreen mode, it would vibrate slightly. I had to move it around—shaking it left and right for about a second—to make it disappear, kind of like that.

Let's begin by checking the age of the machine.
If it's a power supply issue, it will likely worsen unless a new one is purchased.
Typically, a PSU lasts about 3 to 5 years.

It doesn't matter; I discovered my GPU was overheating above 100°C, leading to thermal throttling.
