Computer won't launch games.

[Brate608]

So recently I bought a Pavilion Notebook. I currently have 3 gaming networks such as: Steam,Discord, and Origin. I have bought 5 games such as: Sims 3, Rainbow 6, BattleGrounds, H1Z1, DayZ. I also have the Elgato HD 60. It was all working great until a weeks ago Sims 3 stoped working, then today Rainbow 6 stoped working. All it does is brings up a black box with a red line around it and plays the back ground music to the game. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the games. I also have clean reboot my computer I tried restarting the computer and nothing seems to work. I'm not sure what to do. The only way to exit the program is to Ctr + Alt + Delete then go into task manager and end task. Other than that I am not sure on what to do I really like the computer. Please help me. I really want to play my games again!

About a month ago it was working fine. No I didn't make any changes. Yes I have tried trouble shooting.
