I don't think the video card is the problem, but did you try cleaning your PC? Maybe it's too full of dust. Could be this, fixed many of my problems many times.

Does your screen go black when you afk or only after peripheral interaction?

If it's before you touch anything it might be possible that your system is trying to sleep after one minute which could have been caused by an accidental change or a family member trolling. It does sound like the system is struggling to resume processes that were running.

Is it the whole PC that crashes and do you need to reboot to fix?

You can set in the properties in how many seconds the screen will turn black to save power, try settings it to 9999 seconds?

Yes, I would say that it may be trying to resume from a sleep. This can often cause crashes as the system tries to pickup where it left off. You can find the settings under Control Panel > Power Options.

Try that and let us know if it works if not then it might be the seed of a bigger problem.

When you go away, just put an autoclicker to click on the screen randomly so the screen won't become inactive and go black. That random clicking will keep the screen open.
