Link to the VGA splitter, that would be quite helpful.

Have you tried running only a single screen? It'll reduce issues.
VGA from PC ----> VGA Splitter ---> 1 screen

Until you can get it to pass the video feed through for a single screen having more on there is just going to exaggerate any existing issues.

i'm gonna try that , but the issue is the VGA splitter is in ceiling blocked ... i hardly can see the cables
that's more complicate because i found 6 VGA Splitter related to each other ... and all of them now ( Powered On , Active ON )
the computer only have two DVI ( DVI-I and DVI-D ) and i use Adapter
PC <---> (Adapter DVI- I to VGA)<---->Splitters VGA , i taught that issue coming from the adpter ( I tried in 2 computers with VGA on , One desktop and second laptop but same issue no display it's Black ) seems like they receive signal but not enough ! but that's worked before its just after the strom i swaped the old drive to my new computer ... i really don't know where thats come from ... :( 

* All the screens in mode analog or D-SUB .
* I changed to many options in Graphic properties : clone mode , extand mode , i changed the resolutions ...

:(  :(  :(

Thats just dumb. You can't troubleshoot something you aren't familiar with when its in the ceiling. Either get it down or order a second one so you can test stuff out in a friendly environment.

Confirm that you are outputting to that port on the graphics card by hooking a monitor straight in, also see if you can find something with a native VGA port, it might just not be flipping to analog for the VGA splitter, it might not be triggering properly.
