RX580 black screen after 10 minutes of gaming

Hey there, this question may have been asked before but I am at witts end about this issue. I have had my RX 580 for a bit over a year now and I initially started having issues about 6 months ago. I started seeing blue and green lines on my primary monitor mainly whilst using Discord and once I moved my cursor over the lines they would disappear. This issue seemed to resolve itself and I have not had the same issue since. 

 

Now however, while gaming, after about 10 minutes of gaming (The Witcher 2, Titanfall 2, Black Desert Online,) Both screens flicker black and then display No signal (Both at the same time) The GPU then throttles and I am still able to hear in game audio and hear voices while on voice chat etc. I have updated my Graphics driver and monitored temps and there are no issues there as the temps are within normal range. My PSU is an old crappy Chinese one that needs replacing but I have never had an issue like this previously until now. One monitor is using a high quality HDMI cable and the other is using a VGA cable. Not sure what is causing this issue but any suggestions would be helpful!

The weird thing is I have not had an issue with the psu previously... I am looking at getting a PSU asap tho so will do (Any other suggestions aside from that?) Also, the GPU stays powered and throttling after the screens lose display so it dosnt seem like its a PSU issue....

It's not only the strength of the PSU but the quality of power it distributes. Also do you have your PC plugged into any kind of UPS or surge protector? A good ups with AVR helps clean up the power. Is anything else on the same circuit as your PC like a microwave for example that could make power fluctuate?

Ahh ok sure! I am kind of a noob when it comes to a lot of stuff PC. The system is on its own circuit but I do not have a surge protector installed.
