No Signal Screen While Playing Videogames.

[heroman1010]

Hey, I'm new to this forum, but wanted to ask.

I just got new components and installed them.

GPU: AMD R7 260X 2GB OC
CPU: INTEL PENTIUM G3220 3.0GHZ
MoBo: H81M VG4 R2.0
RAM: 2 X 4GB DDR3 1333MHZ
PSU: GENERIC 650W

I've got some troubles and couldn't get a decent PSU, so I installed an 2x4 molex to 6 pin for my GPU, and couldn't get a Monitor, so I got an VGA TO HDMI cable.

First when I installed the amd driver (newest one) it went black with brand new windows, nothing installed but the driver, took out the GPU, downloaded and installed an old driver and reinstalled the GPU again and it went good, till I installed Rust, 5 minutes after playing the monitor gets again "No signal", so tried with GTA IV, and the same happens but 20 minutes after.

Checked the temperatures it was on 75°C on Rust, and playing GTA IV it was on 65°C, I don't have a cooler for the case so I keep it open and my room is very cold.

Once after I got "No signal" when playing for 20 mins GTA IV, I unplugged the HDMI cable for 1 minute and plugged it again, and it was everything normal.

Sorry for telling this but my budget is now 0, can't afford to buy anything else unless it is the only way to solve this problem.

Thank you all.

Sounds like your hdmi/vga cable is the problem. Please link the exact one you bought. Thanks.
