GPU Problem, should I call in for warranty?

Hey guys, I'm new on the forum but I need some help.

 

I own a PC that is a few years old, was running perfect til 3/4 days ago wen my monitor just started to shut down randomly, not only that but right before that the computer started to spasm out and freeze, after several seconds the computer recovers but the monitor is still with "No Signal"

 

The interesting thing is that after a Force Restart the computer everything runs perfectly until this random event happens again.

 

Now, I thought that it may be the CPU at first but the load/temp/usage was fine right before I started to suspect the Video Card.

 

I instaled TechPowerUp GPU-Z and started to record a log and waited for the computer to spazz on me again, but I'm not a computer wizz, and to be honest I dont know how to read the data, but right away I started to see some differences in data, please help me interpret that information and help me out with a solution.

 

My pc configuration is: 

 

Motherboard: Asus Z87-A

Processor:Intel® CoreTM i5-4670K

Video card: Asus nVidia GeForce GTX660 2GB DDR5

RAM: Corsair Vengeance Black 8GB

SSD Kingston HyperX 3K 120GB

SSHD Seagate 2TB, 7200RPM

Right now I have a old Monitor that the only imput available is a vga, so I use a adaptor to use on my DVI output. (could this be the problem)

 

I use Windows 10 build 9926, Videocard Driver is up to date so: 349.65

 

Below you have the GPU-Z Log

 

Yellow = Idle status

Red = When I started using the pc and it started to freeze and lose video signal on monitor

Dark Blue = After I restarted the PC

Any suggestions on how to fix this? Or should I call in for warranty?

what is the power supply?

 I have  Thermaltake LT-600 AL2L, so 600W , had no problems with it until now, I think is strong enough, right?

I recently moved to different location, it is in a power bar right now but I have just the Monitor, PC, and speakers plugged in. Do you thing that it gets insufficient current? I am going to distribute the power supply then and plug 2 power bars in different wall sockets to see if it works.

 

Ill get back to see if that was efficient

 

Do I have any way to see if the Power Supply is working fine on my pc?

sadly, the only way is to try with another psu...since you just moved, is it an old construction? the wall outlet maybe faulty, try another piece of electronic in that outlet.
