Hello,
so sometimes I have this problem occurring (look at the attached pictures) so I would like to know why it's happening. When it happens it restarts my PC.
Here are my specs:
Asus a320m-k motherboard, 16 GB ram (2x8gb), rx 580 8gb graphics, ryzen 5 1600af as CPU.
When does it happen?
A: it happens randomly but rarely. By that i mean it happened when PC had some load to do and it also happened when I turned the PC on (as you can see on the picture I had only my computer open when it happened), so it looks like the load isn't the cause of it.

The monitor that I'm using has only VGA input so i have to use an adapter (hdmi to vga if I'm not wrong), also I had to cut a piece of rubber so that i could fit the HDMI part into graphics card.

This happened only once, but radeon sofware managed to keep my PC up and a message showed up that said for some reason drivers stopped working.

My first instinct is to say the gpu is faulty. Artifacts like that are usually signs of a bad gpu. But then your using a modified connector setting and that could also be the problem. Do you have another monitor you can test on or another gpu?
