Check your resolution settings to see if all monitors are there. Then cycle through the different display adapters for your monitor. Sounds like they either aren't enabled though windows or the monitors themselves are trying to display from the wrong port. Make sure you are only using one display cable per monitor. You may want to reduce the number of adapters by buying the proper cables, they could be causing the issue.
Wow @Ghostllie that's some cables you got there. I agree with @dandruff , check your Windows settings to make sure the monitors are being detected. Also, I highly suggest you use the best cable connection for your primary monitor. You really shouldn't be playing games though VGA if it can be helped now a days.
Alright ill be sure to switch them around thank you sir!
depends on the situation really. HDMI 1.0 wont go above 60hz whereas VGA will. In most situations HDMI is prefered over VGA.
