Hello,
a computer is connected to monitor trough HP HDMI to VGA adapter. When you turn on the computer, the monitor remains black and does not show the pc, even though pc is working fine. Only when pc is forced shutdown and then turned on again, only then monitor shows the pc display. Sometimes you have to force shutdown more than once for that to happen. I tried with other monitors and cables and when I didn't use the adapter, everything turns on just fine, but when it comes to connecting to adapter, it gets troublesome.
The computer only has HDMI and DP ports and I don't have any of these 2 cables, only VGA.
