ok, so while playing dota 2 my pc's display suddenly goes off, the gpu fan is stops and then the pc restarts. After reboot there is no display. When i tried connecting the vga cable to the motherboard, the displays are back.
I tried removing the gpu and putting it back again and then its working fine. Unfortunately, the problem still happens at random times (gaming or just browsing). Removing the gpu and putting it back fixes the problem.

SO...
What is the cause of this problems?
I just bought the GPU last January (2015) and the other components are bought in 2012

Solution
since you have a ram slot not working the gpu slot could start to fail look on the board with a magnifier to see if there is anything abnormal like bubbled capacitor or resistor even coil ,you may have to get a now motherboard .
