Can I say "after when"?

For this sentense : I will play computer games in the afternoon, after which I will study. Can I say "I will play computer games in the afternoon, after when I will study? What are the grammatical rules underneath?

No, you cannot say 'after when'. 'After' in 'after which' and 'when' both mean 'after' here. You can use these: I will play computer games in the afternoon, after which I will study.
