Motherboard VGA and dvi ports not working

[travis_34]

I have a dual monitor setup and just recently built a new computer. I'm trying to hook up both monitors but my g card only has one VGA port. I try to plug my other monitor into the VGA port on the motherboard and it doesn't register that it's there. I try the dvi port... Still nothing. Help please

What motherboard and CPU?

What motherboard and CPU?

The motherboard is a GIGABYTE Z170 MX-GAMING 5 LGA 1151

The CPU is an INTEL® CORE™ I5-6500

I'm assuming you also need the g card so that is a GIGABYTE 75TOC-2GL GTX750TI 2GB DDR5 Low Profile

In BIOS, under Chipset, try enabling Internal Graphics

Kind of a noob when it comes to building computers. How do you get to the BIOS?

Try pressing DEL at startup.

Sorry for the late reply. I've gotten to the BIOS menu and done what youve said and it still doesn't work. Am I missing something?

The exact model number/name on the box is GV-N75TOC-2GL Nvidia GT X 750 Ti/REV 1.0 PCI-E 3.0/2GB GDDR5/128 bit DVI/HDMI*2/DisplayPort

Hope this helps

You connect the monitor to the card via DVI-I, right?

Don't know if I'm missing something or its a typo but I connected one monitor to the g card vie dvi-d. The other monitor I tried to connect to the motherboard vie both dvi-d and d-sub ports and neither work.

Your GPU has: DVI-I, Display Port and 2x HDMI ports.

For connecting both monitors to your GPU there are many ways. Pick your favourite:
Way 1
1st VGA monitor: use VGA to HDMI adapter and connect it to 1st HDMI port.
2nd VGA monitor: use VGA to HDMI adapter and connect it to 2nd HDMI port.

Way 2
1st VGA monitor: use VGA to DVI-I adapter and connect it to DVI-I port.
2nd VGA monitor: use VGA to HDMI adapter and connect it to HDMI port.

Way 3
1st VGA monitor: use VGA to Display Port adapter and connect it to Display port.
2nd VGA monitor: use VGA to HDMI adapter and connect it to HDMI port.

Way 4
1st VGA monitor: use VGA to DVI-I adapter and connect it to DVI-I port.
2nd VGA monitor: use VGA to Display Port adapter and connect it to Display port.

Note: when you have dedicated GPU installed, your MoBo display ports won't work until you remove your dedicated GPU.

Another note: don't use any DVI-D ports since VGA monitors use analog signal and DVI-D ports don't carry analog signal in them.

Try contacting Gigabyte. See if the board does support multi-monitor (internal and discrete working together). Another option is a HDMI to VGA converter (not passive adapter).
