So I bought this system over a year ago, it had a Pentium G4400, GTX 750ti, 8GB DDR3, ASROCK H110M DGS DDR3 MOTHERBOARD, 120GB SSD AVF POWER SUPPLY WITH 550WATT 20+4PIN, my case is this: https://www.tecware.co/f3 and is connected to a BENQ MONITOR 19.5" DL2020.
The problem here is that randomly while I play games, my PC would lose connection to the monitor (monitor says no signal) but I still hear the sound that is being outputted from my PC (e.g. music, people talking on discord, etc.). When this problem occurs, I would hear my PC's fans become really loud, very loud.
Over the past year, I've upgraded my system. I've added a hard drive first, the problem doesn't start to happen, everything's fine. Next I upgraded to a GTX 1060 6GB mini by Zotac. The problem starts to occur. I thought it would be a bottlenecking problem so I saved up for an i5 7600. The problem still persists.
I'm thinking that it's the PSU that's causing this problem as I'm not using a 6-pin power connector that is from the PSU but I'm using a molex to 6-pin power connector converter as a 6-pin power connector for my GPU as my PSU doesn't have one so I resort to a temporary solution. So far the only games that causes this is only Overwatch.
My GPU temperatures would be on a constant 80 degrees celsius and my CPU would be in between 70-80 degrees celsius. Can someone confirm this?
If it is a PSU problem, would my whole system explode one day due to the molex to 6-pin power connector converter?
If the answer is also yes, what PSU should I get? I'm on a budget as I'm merely a high-school kid that saves up money to upgrade his PC he built. My results are near too but I don't want to burden my parents too much just to upgrade my PC
Here's a video demonstrating the problem I'm facing with: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkAqoT_wpRE
What is the cause of the problem?
