Sudden No Signal Message

[Egemenunsal]

My PC has been running perfectly until the start of summer.Out of nowhere I got a "No Signal" error while playing Sims 4 and I tried everything and I couldn't get the screen to work so I rebooted my PC but I came across a weird thing.The screen worked perfectly untill the Windows loading screen and after passing the loading screen (blue screen with dots circling around) a black screen with a huge white stripe and some colorful dots around it welcomed me but until coming to this screen everything worked perfectly (BIOS screen etc.).After a few more restarts I managed to start my PC correctly.But this problem started coming up later on so I thought that it was a problem caused by overheating so I started to monitor my hardware tempatures but there was nothing extra (CPU and GPU at around 50C at idle) but I plugged two extra fans that I didint use and my tempatures decreased by almost 15C degrees but my problem didint stop.I tested my monitor and I'm 99,9% sure there is no problem with it.Also I feared a virus was causing it so I ran multiple scans with multiple programs but I came across nothing.Also I noticed that this problem espacially occured while playing CS:GO,Sims 4 and World of Warcraft but ocurred sometimes while browsing Google Chrome.So I'm afraid that there is a problem with my GPU although it still gives me full performance in games.But also this might be caused by the DVI-VGA adaptor I use on my GPU so I'm asking if anyone might know what could be causing this kind of problem.

My System;

• 
  Intel Core i7-4790 3.6 GHz CPU
  MSI H97 Gaming 3 Military Class Motherboard
  G-Skill Ripjaws 16GB(4x4) 1600MHz CL9 RAM
  Gainward GTX 980 Phantom GDDR5 4GB GPU (DVI output with a VGA adaptor)

Thanks for your attention.

Hello sir. I had a lot of touch with the adapters. It is 80% a faulty adapter. Majority of these things are made of low quality materials in china. I suggest you buy a more expensive one which will cost like 5 dollars and also try to use a different cable with a new adapter. Invest like 10 usd. If it doesn't works , try using a different monitor with hdmi.

One more thing. Everything what you are talking about reminds me of a broken gpu. I hope it's not the case so before you rma your card try to see if the things works for you dude.

First of all thank you for your fast response so you are saying that there is a possibility that the adaptor could be causing the problem but its more likely that my GPU is broken.So how can I test if my GPU is broken? Also I'll take your advice on cheap adaptors so thanks for that.
