GV-N730D5-2GI: DVI-D Port Signal

Hello all,

I'm struggling to find out what the issue is for what I intend to setup with my PC and its displays.

Main objective:  Extend desktop across two of the same monitors and clone the desktop display onto one television. 


Current Setup:

  • Right now I have the television connected through the HDMI port and two monitors connected through the DVI-D and VGA ports.  According to its website ( http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5113#sp ), I should be able to have 3 displays. 
  • The TV connects through an HDMI to HDMI, one monitor connects via VGA to VGA and the other monitor physically connects to the DVI-D port through a DVI-D (male) to HDMI (female) video adapter ( http://www.microcenter.com/product/355991/HDMI_Female_to_DVI_Male_Adapter ) attached to the graphics card and an HDMI to HDMI cable to the monitor. 
  • The video adapter connects exactly to the DVI-D port with matching 24+1 pins design.

The Issue:
  • The problem in my experience involves anything that connects to the DVI-D port.  After I power on the computer the DVI-D monitor does in fact display the ASUS PC startup screen but then blacks out when the PC loads Windows 10.
  • At first I thought maybe it's the monitor and so I tried connecting the DVI-D port to my television in the same way I did to the monitor and I still don't see any differences or improvements. 

I feel as if I should be able to achieve my objective without further additional purchases. 

Any thoughts? 

Thank you very much for your time.
