[SOLVED] GTX 1050 TI issue

[StormFire16]

Hey guys, i’m not so tech savy and so i wanted to get a budget gaming pc so i bought a optiplex 990DT along with a 1050ti.
the first problem started when i realized i had a vga monitor that wasnt compatible so when i started windows it said the gpu wasnt compatible and i had to get an adapter, i went to buy an hdmi to vga adapter, i plugged it into the card and it was starting windows normally, i got to the desktop then after a few minutes the image was gone black Just like that randomly, i restarted the pc just to find out that when it tried to load the desktop again as soon as it finally loaded, the image Vanished no matter if i turned on and off the monitor Again..it just lost the image For good, same thing happened the 3rd and 4rd time, any suggestions? Would kindly appreciate any help

HDMI is not exactly a new standard anymore; I bought a 1080p monitor back in 2008 that had HDMI. If the monitor you have doesn't support HDMI and doesn't work well when using an adapter, I recommend a modern yet inexpensive 1080p monitor (can be found for less than $100). If you have a bit more money to spend, a cheap gaming monitor that is g-sync compatible would be even better as it'll help when your frame rate drops below 60 frames per second (likely to happen with a 1050 Ti).
