Monitor wont turn on when connected to Motherboard using DVI to VGA adapter

[XGoliathGamer]

I recently went for an upgrade of my PC...i installed all the hardware correctly but when i connect my monitor to the motherboard (in order to disable the onboard graphic so that i would be able to use the new graphic card card that i bought) the screen receives no signal....i made sure that the adapter was firmly connected but no result

If you have your graphic card installed, just plug the monitor into the graphic card's display ports. The motherboard display ports will normally be disabled automatically once you installed a graphic card.

Thx for the reply. I've tried using a HDMI cable and it worked which meant that i didnt uave to install the drivers first.... But the tv's in my parent's room which means that i cant use it...I'll try to exchange the VGA to DVI convertor, maybe it is faulty.Oh and btw the monitor supports only VGA.

You may want to try an active HDMI to VGA adapter.
