What do I do if my computer only has one place for the white plug to plug into...
And my monitor only has white and blue plugs, no HDMI.


go out and buy an adapter for the blue cable and pop it in the hdmi slot.
Or edit the bios to always use onboard graphics and leave your setup the same.

I can't figure out how to access bios.

I'm using Windows 10

What would the name of that cord be to adapt it so I can plug into HDMI?

And cost?

Grab an hdmi cable unfortunately, your monitor should have a slot for it, your GPU does next to your DVI slot.

Errr didnt read where your monitor doesn't have hdmi slot.

Do

Problem is, my monitor doesn't have an HDMI plug. Neither of them do, they're the same exact monitor.



Activated? How do I go about that


Get another DVI cable (white) and then a DVI female -> HDMI male adapter. Will run you a bit more since your monitors are weird for not having an HDMI.

Should cost you <$40 at your local electronics store for both.

Recommend not going for the cheap $8 cables because you get what you pay for.

That adapter is the wrong one. Gotta buy an hdmi cable with that adapter.

Ironically the link is right but the item is backwards.

Buy an hdmi screen, i can tell you the conversion will look like shit on your 2nd monitor. Or upgrade gpu to a card with 2 dvi and an hdmi port.
