I have been trying to hook my PC into my TV. I have a serial to DVI to HDMI. I can't get a signal. Any tips on what can do to make it work? Please help

serial to DVI?

Do you mean a d-sub to DVI?

Then another adaptor to convert to HDMI?

What video card do you have? I think you are trying to say you have DVI (video card) and HDMI (TV) connections.

Connect this to your video card:

And get an HDMI cable and it will connect to your pc and tv. You will not get sound due to DVI doesn't carry sound. If you want sound you will need to get a newer video card that has a built in HDMI connection...
