Hello everyone, I just recently bought both a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and a DisplayPort to HDMI converter and my gpu is a GTX 1060 6 GB. I have my main monitor connected to the gpu through hdmi but the other slots are all displayport so after i bought the converter and adapter I am getting no signal to the second monitor. Both monitors are Dell SE217HG. Any help will be appreciated starting to get very frustrated! Thank you!
 
My apologies if you've covered this, but it's unsaid, so just want to be sure:

Both monitors work in single monitor mode via native HDMI?

Using your displayport/adapter setup and ONLY 1 monitor connected to make sure THAT works? Test all the Displayports if necessary

You have reversed the order and put #1 on the converter, and #2 on HDMI?

Selected the appropriate HDMI port on the monitor via the monitor's menus?

The monitor is identified in the NVidia control panel?

Monitor is seen in Windows display settings?

Display is selected for "extend" in Windows display settings for how to use the monitor?

Disable Fastboot options in the BIOS?

Disable the hibernation system in windows?

After having tested what "cherry blossoms" suggested, you can try my solution that worked for me. I only have one monitor and my problem was that only HDMI worked but not DP. I unplugged the HDMI keeping only DP connected and then reset my motherboards CMOS at the back of the motherboard and booted up my computer again and I now had signal again :)
