Hey,
So for some reason the DVI to VGA adapter isn't working. The monitor is an NEC multisync LCD 1970NX and my graphics card is MSI Gaming N760 TF 2GD5/OC GeForce GTX 760 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Video Card- maybe the graphics card is too high of a resolution? or maybe the adapter is the problem because it a DVI-I to VGA?
the computer turns on and the fans on the graphics card turn on if that helps and i also tired to connect it to the tv and it wont work
this is my first build ever and i have waited so long to build it and now it wont work!!!
PLEASE HELP!!!

A DVI-D port can't pass the analog signal required by a VGA display. For that, you need a DVI-I or (rarely used) DVI-A port on the video card itself.
The GTX 760 has 2 DVI ports, the one with more pins is the DVI-I port and the proper one to use with the VGA adapter.

The monitor has 2 ports, a VGA port and a DVI port. One cable, just a regular single link (dual link would also work) DVI cable would provide the best interface (not adapters required.
If the OP has no DVI cable, then the DVI to VGA adapter should be connected to the DVI-I port on the GPU and the VGA cable attached to it and the monitor.

For the DVI port to be used on the monitor, it doesn't matter if connected to a DVI-I or DVI-D port on the video card. Either will work, as noted above.
On the monitor, however, it might be necessary to set (via its on-screen menu) the input port (VGA or DVI). Some older monitors require this to be set by the operator.

What video cables do you have? DVI cables usually have big white connectors. VGA cables usually have smaller purple connectors.

Yes, if you have the DVI to VGA adapter connected to the DVI-I port on your video card and the VGA cable attached to it and the monitor.

Did you make sure you are using the DVI-I port and not the DVI-D port? The DVI-I port on your card is the one just below the HDMI port.

Ok, so the computer is probably not completing POST. Are the 8-pin and 6-pin power connectors plugged into the card? Does your PSU have atleast 30a on the +12v rail(if you are not sure post the make and model of the PSU and we can look it up)?

POST means getting past the BIOS screen when starting the system. Are you getting any beeps when you press the power button?
Also, did you connect both the 24-pin main power and 4 (or 8) pin aux power connectors from the PSU to the motherboard, as well as the 2 PCIe connectors from the PSU to the GTX 760. Did all "click" into place, indicating they are fully inserted?

You need to step through this troubleshooting guide before we can go forward:

Make sure your monitor is set to the VGA input as well.

first i kept on seeing a red leight blinking on and off near my RAM and right near that was the memOK button i pressed that and it stopped blinking. I tried it on my monitor still didnt fixed so i decided to hook it up to my tv and it worked!!! so my plan is to get a new monitor.
