Okay so, a while ago I had a simple 1440x900 VGA monitor which worked perfectly but I wanted to upgrade to 1920x1080. I bought a 1920x1080 monitor but found out that they were both VGA and my GPU (Radeon HD 6670) only supports one VGA port, a HDMI port and a DVI port, with this information I bought a VGA to DVI converter and plugged in my 1440x900 monitor into my DVI port but no matter what I do it won't detect it, I have tried the 1920x1080 monitor in the DVI port and again, no dice. I have tried another VGA to DVI converter which I know works and still the same story, I just want to know if there is any way to get this to work, all my drivers are up to date just in case that information is useful

I know it's not an issue with the cable as I can plug it into my VGA port and it works fine, it's just the DVI-I port which refuses to work, just in case though I used the cable which is currently plugged into my 1920x1080 monitor and it still doesn't work :/
