graphicscard ASRock Challenger RX 6600 8GB GPU two monitors?

[leahxml]

Hi!! 

 

I just recently finished my first build- I have the ASRock Challenger RX6600 GPU in my motherboard (with a AMD Ryzen 5 5600G cpu) and ive been having issues trying to connect a second monitor and was curious if anyone had any tips on troubleshooting. 

 

Integrated graphics has been turned off and my main monitor is plugged into my GPU in the HDMI port, the second monitor I want to use is a display port cable and every time I attempt to plug it into the GPU it either says no signal found or my main monitor will go black and the second monitor will boot up (but not post into BIOS)  and then completely shut off back into the no signal screen (the second monitor is a dell monitor that doesn't even have an HDMI port and only has VGA and dp so im wondering if its too old for the graphics card). Ive tried different cords and It gives the same result. 

 

If anyone has any idea why this happening I would be most grateful!! Would love a second monitor in my setup so would love a solution : D
