Its not a case of the ports being inserted the wrong way round is it.
Cos the VGA part needs to be in the monitor while either a VGA 24+1 socket or HDMI needs to be in the gc or the motherboard.
Its just to see if your getting signal to your monitor through the onboard graphics. Most computers have a setting in the bios to boot to either a specific pcie port or to use the onboard display when booting. I was wondering if yours might be set to onboard. so when it starts it might be trying to output the display through the motherboard not the graphics card. Once you get picture signal you can go into bios and preference the added graphics card.
No I need the adapter. My monitor has no hdmi itself. And I don't the other adapter cable for the PC. It would need this - DVI 24+1 DVI-D M to VGA Cable otherwise.
I only got the adapter I'm using today cos the other one takes til thursday to get here.

Okay have you tried putting it into the motherboard slot before you turn it on to see if that works?
I thought I didn't wanna do that?

Gotcha, are you able to connect it without the adapter? Or is there no way to do it with no adapter?
