VGA monitor not working

I just built my second PC...

Specs:

Intel core i5 8600k at 4.7

Gigabyte z370 mobo

1x 8gb stick of ram

256gb SSD

1tb HDD

500w 80+ gold psu

Sapphire Rx460 

Bequiet pure rock cooler

 

The build works fine, it boots, loads windows and plays games but it won't work with my VGA monitor... I've gotten it working on my HDMI tv on both the CPU and GPU HDMI ports but neither work for my monitor... I'm using a VGA cord with HDMI adapter and that works perfectly with my laptop (lenovo dual core coffee lake i7 with a 950m) and old PC (amd FX6300, 8gb ram and the same rx460) but it won't work with my new build... Help please?

You might have to set the input source on the monitor as D-Sub.

Probably gaming or helping technophobes with tech...

incase that didn't fix it, you might need an active adapter if analog signals aren't supported in your gpu and cpu on new build.

Yep was going to say I presume you are using a powered HDMI converter box.

That could be the problem. I've seen people use cheap HDMI in line converters for this and just do not work. Most of the time.

Update: I've bought a Belkin powered adapter and no luck with that...

Something is wrong with either your cables or your monitor.
