What would cause a computer game to crash to a black screen after five minutes?

So you've got this computer game and you've been playing it for a while and you've never had any problems with it crashing before, it's always ran fine. Your computer meets all the system specs. Your fans are working fine so it's not overheating. Your drivers are up to date.



So keeping that in mind, what would cause a computer game to suddenly start crashing to a black screen after only five minutes of playing it when it's run fine before?What would cause a computer game to crash to a black screen after five minutes?
Taking all of what you said into consideration, I would start looking into any updates that were recently performed on the computer (i.e., updates for the operating system, drivers, etc...) to see if perhaps an update or a driver update could be causing the issue.What would cause a computer game to crash to a black screen after five minutes?
hes rite, check any updates, check your power supply is working properly and not undersupplying any graphics card you have, check nothing has clogged the fans on the cpu or gpu,



is it just the one game, if so uninstall and reinstall the game and then defreag and try playing again first on lower settings,



check for new patches and updates for the game.
