What is the precise reason behind this?
I had an rx580 for two days, everything was fine the first day but yesterday it started acting odd. I thought it was crashing my whole PC until I realized it was just a visual issue. I tried unplugging the HDMI adapter and it worked. Every time this happened, unplugging the cable fixed it, though it would happen again mid-game.
I'm using the following setup: GPU HDMI port → HDMI → VGA adaptor → VGA cable → monitor. This never occurred before when I upgraded, so I suspect a problem with the GPU or the adapter.
Specs: i5 3570, 8GB RAM at 1333MHz, Gigabyte RX 580, 550W PSU.

Include details about the GPU HDMI port setup and any adapter usage.
You may consider removing adapters to test with a direct cable connection.
This situation is new for this upgrade, so it might indicate an issue with the GPU or its adapter.
Let me know what you mean by the upgrade so I can assist further.
Could the HDMI to VGA adapter be the source of the signal problems? Perhaps the RX 580 isn't handling the conversion well? Consider using a direct HDMI connection or another adapter to determine if the issue continues?
