PC Crashes when playing some games
My computer recently has started crashing when playing some games. When this happens the computer screen is green and usually a loud sound comes out of the speakers, usually scaring me. Restarting the computer fixes it. I think it might be a overheating issue, for a while what I did was take off the side panel, which usually made it so the computer doesn't do this but recently it still does this even with it off. Also quite a few times I left the computer on for a long time without it turning off, possibly leaving it on for at most a few days. Do you think doing this made the thermal paste bad or something? I really want to continue gaming on the computer which is hard when it does this. Especially on games that dont autosave. Also another issue is that the computer sometimes likes to restart without warning, no blue screen, nothing. It's not windows because I turned it off its permission to do so. The graphics card also usually gets quite hot when I play on it.

@aactech Is this it?

@aactech I'm not sure about the motherboard, but the graphics card is a radeon rx 470 armor 4G oc.
heres a few images. Also 8 GB of ram, I am using a hard drive. I had bought the computer pre-built. Heres the CPU according to windows
The computer does not shut down, I have to shut it down myself, I have not cleaned the fans, or the motherboard.

I also found a version of the same motherboard but it has the ports that were not on the other photos I looked at

Sometimes it works just fine and does not do this, last night I played it for several hours without anything happening

@aactech When I think about it, yes the graphics card does get very hot when I play games, also I looked at a few things about the graphics card earlier and saw something that now makes sense. It was saying that the graphics card was supposed to run fans at full speed when the temp got to a certain point. I looked at some temp tools to see that the fans were not spinning but according to the chart for the card they were supposed to be, which I guess caused the overheating issue. Also here are some codes I found on the motherboard.

Just look at the graphics card while the system is running. Are the fans spinning? AMD has software which allows you to set the profile for the graphics card fan speed, under different conditions, but I'm not sure if will run on Intel boards. Give it a try.
If you look at the top centre of the last photo you will see "Lenovo" & ver. 4 which is the brand & version - model number should be next to the name. I didn't even know that Lenovo made desktop boards! Where did you get it?

@aactech No they do not spin while the system is running. I tried doing what you said before but it ended up making the system restart, I'm guessing it's because of lack of power, cause Windows was not allowed to restart automatically. For the while where the system was on it was working. I bought the desktop online. Also would the model number be the same as the lenovo text, or would it be a sticker?

@catlove
Text the same as Lenovo text.
These graphics card's fans, with the default profile, will often not spin until the card reaches a predetermined temperature.
If you can boot to Windows just check Motherboard Model Using Microsoft’s System Information Tool.
Press the Windows key + R keyboard shortcut to open the Run box, then type msinfo32 and hit Enter to launch Microsoft’s System Information Tool.
In the System Summary section, look for the the “BaseBoard” entries and they will give you the manufacturer name, model number and version for the motherboard.
