Need Help, 2 Monitor Issues

[iTsNatePvP]

Hi i just bought a new monitor and it works fine, the reasoning of me buying this monitor is to have it as a second one. But only one monitor works at a time. My GPU is a EVGA GTX 1050Ti. Right now i have one monitor into HDMI to HDMI (this one works) then the other is VGA To VGA then into another adapter to VGA Female to DVI-D Male then its in the GPU. I have no clue how to solve this issue as i am only 13. I was thinking an HDMI splitter but i read that it only duplicates on what your doing on your main screen. I want to have one for a game, then the other for chrome. All help is appreciated, here is my current build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sZWgm8

Here are both the monitors:

New One: https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-23-Inch-FHD-LED-Lit-Widescreen/dp/B01FXDVZ5W/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=sl1&tag=justin07c-20&linkId=7b5a402d856b5ccbe09cec2bcbbf95e3

Old one i cannot find, but it is V7 1080p (i believe 75HZ) and i think 24"

Your GPU only outputs digital video signals. VGA is an analog video signal. You need an "active" video converter. Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-DVI2VGAE-1920x1200-Adapter-Converter/dp/B00C93JQXS

is there any way that can be cheaper? like $15 or so below ?

I just provided an example of an active converter. You'll need to do the research. Maybe there's another brand that's cheaper or on sale.

Okay, i may found a way to fix my issue for free, and for that i have a question, my bios is not showing when i boot up my PC, so how do make it show up? Also thank you.

when you turn on the pc the first dvi will take display priority till windows boots and then the hdmi will be activated. at this time the dvi will terminate its signal.
this is normal
if you want to display both screens press the win key +p and use the expand option.
you still wont get a signal on the hdmi monitor at boot time but you will be able to use both screens 1s windows is loaded.

ahh im sorry i really dont under stand when i press win + p it comes up a print screen

win +p should bring up the screen options if your using win 10/8/8.1
ctrl +p will print the screen to the printer.
maybe your keyboard connfig is off or you have some other software over riding your defaults.

if you cant get it to work theres always the display settings options.

Here's how to get into the bios: https://www.howtogeek.com/126016/three-ways-to-access-the-windows-8-boot-options-menu/

I assume you're going to turn on the mobo video (since it's usually disable when you insert a GPU). Good solution!
