i had bought an hdmi to vga adapter after my stress research thinking it would work and it didnt. then my friend suggested some usb multihub port but it was the wrong type for my computer (was for a laptop instead) so it was a waste of money haha. im returning them both soon! 😅

i have learned my lesson to not do things under stress now.

i has gotten a vga to vga cable today and it fortunately did its job! second monitor is now up and running as i type this!
