My monitor isn't detecting a signal from my gpu

So, I’ve recently bought a GTX 1660 gaming oc 6gb, I’ve installed the graphics card, but since my monitor doesn’t have a hdmi port, I bought a hdmi to vga adapter, but when I turn my pc on, my monitor just says no input signal. I’ve updated my BIOS to the latest version I could find, I’ve tried rearangeing the ram sticks, and I’ve tried to take out and put back in the gpu lots of time, but none of this seems to help . And when I remove my graphics card and plug my vga cable into the motherboard, the screen works. As far as I know, the motherboard should work with my gpu, since I’ve checked on the internet and it says that they are compatible

My pc specs are Motherboard:intel db65al Gpu: GTX 1669 gaming oc 6gb cpu:intel core i3 2105 3.10 GHz ram:16 gb adapter: https://cablexpert.com/item.aspx?id=9972 monitor:SDM-HS75P Sony

Thanks for any suggestion

@tatrumi really sounds like the issue is with your hdmi to vga adapter. Everything works as should when you remove it. Sounds like you got a decent gaming machine put together and it maybe time to consider updating your monitor.

Hi @tatrumi ,

According to the specs for the adapter it requires 5V @ up to 1A. This has to come from the GPU card. Maybe the GPU card is not designed to supply power from the HDMI port as normally it would be connected to HDMI devices which most probably have their own power supply for the HDMI port controller.

Perhaps you need an adapter that has its own separate power supply input.

Just a thought.
