Monitor cable is plugged to integrated video (DELL)

[Jouteikei]

I'm so stupid about this and need help. I bought a gtx960 vga into my built in dell.

This is what happening now:

"This computer has an add-in graphics card, but the monitor cable is plugged into the integrated video connector."

You are trying to run 2x monitors?

If so, then the white connector is good. What needs to happen is the cable with the blue connector also needs to be plugged into the graphics card using 1 of the 4 slots above the white connector. Depending on what monitor you have, you need to decide what's the easiest course. The white connector is dvi. What's left is hdmi and display port. If your second monitor only has via (the one with 15 pins/holes) then you'll need an adapter for dp/via or hdmi/via.

Either way, just unplug the blue connector and plug it into the video card instead.

On that dell you cant get video from both the integrated (on the motherboard) ports and the dedicated gpu. You will need to use the ports on the dedicated card only.

Now you can go from HDMI to DVI with no active adapter and just an inexpensive cable. If you live in USA I suggest monoprice.com.
If one of your monitors only supports VGA then it is likely that your DVI port is a DVI-I which has vga signal built into it. You just need a cheap dvi-to-vga adapter at the graphics card and then connect a vga cable from the adapter to the monitor

I only run one monitor.

I cannot put the blue one into 1 or 4 slots above the white.

But i notice there are hdmi slot on 1 of the slot and dell monitor. I have 1 hdmi to hdmi cable.

So i tried it but it's a blank screen after windows logo. It's hdmi to hdmi and white to white connect to vga card. I didnt use the blue one since it doesnt fit any of the four slots.

those 4 slots are usb ports.

So guys i am able to run it now. My solution is to only use the dvi cable (white one) without plug any HDMI or blue cable.
It's strange because i remember that i used both white and blue one from my dell monitor to my cpu. it was amd 6670 to GTX 960.

If you have only one monitor why would you connect it with two video cables? I think you confused everyone here about your issue since you did that. One monitor - one video cable to computer.

seen that happen with inkjet printers that had both usb & parallel ports & customers would connect both cables from the printer to the computer.
