R5 230 not detecting second monitor

Hi guys I just replaced my old NVidia graphics card with an AMD R5 230 and am having an issue. When I connect the second monitor to the DVI port using the VGA converter the card does not pick it up. I'm using windows 8.1 and tried to do a manual detect from both windows and the graphics card to no effect, The monitor is working fine so I'm not sure what else I can do since this is my first (and probably last AMD graphics card.)

Moreover I should point out I went as far as to format the system to ensure that is wasn't the previous NVidia drivers conflicting with it. Also the card is seated properly on the board and the drivers are all up to date. Also the converter/adapter is working fine as I put back in my old card with no issues. I checked the cables themselves with no problems. My power source can more than handle the needs of the card.

I would appreciate some suggestions as I am at a loss.
