How do I set up a dvi to vga adapter?

Computer Monitor is VGA but the tower is DVI?

  • I just received my new custom built PC and a new monitor. This being my first Desktop with a decent video card, I'm not sure how to connect it... I tried VGA on the tower to VGA on the monitor, but it kept reading No Signal... Im guessing that when they were testing it, they set the video display output to the XFX video card port(s). The only problem now, is that i have a VGA cable and no way to connect it to the DVI port... What are the chances of finding a DVI adapter or VGA -> DVI cable at a Walmart?

  • Answer:

    when you have dedicated graphics card the onboard video card wont work..you have to connect your monitor to the graphics card since now its doing the job of display.. in your case you would perhaps need dvi-vga adapter..connect one end of dvi to dvi port of gfx card and other end to vga port of your monitor.. i hope that would help you
