I have this annoying problem past few months which Im not able to fix. First of all my pc specs
AMD Athlon II X4 635 (very old I know, will change the whole setup soon)- 5 yr old
MSI 880gma- 5yr old (RMA'd and replaced once)
Sapphire R7 265 2gb - 2 yr old
Corsair 1*8gb 1600- less than 1 yr
CM gx 460W bronze 85+ 3 yr old
BENQ g2255-3 yr old
1*500gb Seagate HDD which is 4-5 yrs old
1*1TB WD HDD which was bought recently (my both OS , windows and ubuntu are on this one)
So what happens is, whenever im working on PC, the monitor goes blank and msg pops up on black screen "No signal detected". Few months ago it used to happen only while gaming, randomly in between and I had to force restart. But these days this is happening even when Im doing simple task like browsing, programming, etc.
Now, 1 thing to notice is, whenever this happens, the keyboard goes unresponsive, the CPU doesnt shut down, it remains in working state but the monitor signal goes out. Also, my Benq have VGA and DVI-D inputs only, no HDMI. So I have to use HDMI to DVI-D or VGA to DVI/HDMI (dont remember which one is that but I added 1 more adapter when using VGA input). I have 2 cables of HDMI to DVI and 1 VGA so Im sure its not the cable issue (Im assuming that its not possible to have all 3 cables in fault).
So what can be the cause of issue? And how to confirm by checking tests on each?? I mean, I was searching for the cause and couldnt find any solid info. Can HDD, RAM, PSU etc cause such issue as well?
PS: I also thought of updating driver once, my current build is 16.something, latest one is 17.21 which I tried updating but the problem ruined the process 2 times already.
