Well my monitor is a ASUS A5334, the graphics card is a new Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 and there is no adapter it's a hdmi to dvi cable but I don't remember if it was dvi-I or dvi-d? Does this help?
 
Are you sure that's correct model name of your monitor? Can't seem to find anything by that name.
And your graphics card - Gigabyte has 13 GTX 1060 models. Witch one is yours?

And how are you connecting that cable? DVI-D into graphics card and HDMI into monitor or the other way?

Did you connect PCIE power cable to your graphics card?

Sorry I gave the wrong details? It's a ASUS VE205/VE245/VE246 Series LCD Monitor, one of them as that is how it's printed on the quick start guide and my new video card I got is the gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 3GB G1 gaming and I connected the hdmi end in my monitor and the dvi-d end in the graphics card and lastly, my new card only had one 8pin connecter, because my old card had one 6pin and one 8pin connecters and I had the leave the 6pin connecter loose?

''I installed a new graphics card in to my Aurora R4''

and your 100% sure that system supports these newer cards ?? some may not or require a bios update for the motherboard that will support the latest cards out today ? this was a issue some found out with the older 900 series NVidia cards

may need to check your support on all that

so you may just need to flash the latest bios and straighten things out on it ?

sad thing is your dealing with dell
