Hi I have a [HP p6-2136 ]
with a [GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST] graphics card
and two [HP W2371d Black 23" 5ms Widescreen LED Monitor 250 cd/m2 1000:1] monitors each with their own VGA cable and DVI-I cables

The two VGAs are hooked to a splitter that works fine on each end and both DVI-I are connected to the graphics card but one display does not work. Its not the cables or displays either since swapping around can turn both on, just not at the same time. One will not be detected.

Let me see if I understand this correctly:

1. You have both monitors connected to the video card using a splitter to get two VGA cables connected.
2. You also have a DVI-I cable connecting each monitor to the video card.

Do I have that correct?

You do not need to have both VGA and DVI cables connected for each monitor.
