I am trying to connect a second monitor. My main monitor is connected by an adapter.

The second monitor I have tried to connect is via DVI only and VGA only and have even plugged them in at the same time.

If I plug my 2nd monitor into the DVI port my adapter is in it works, but my adapter won't fit into my 2nd DVI port.

I'm quite computer illiterate so bare with me here.

Primary monitor is plugged in using an adapter.
2nd monitor has been tried with the DVI and nothing happens. Computer wont detect and the monitor comes on and DVI: No Signal VGA: No Signal HDMI: No Signal and then sleep mode.

AMD Radeon HD 7700 Series
