Dual monitor on rx 580 nitro plus 8g

I need help, i have 2 old monitors that i want to use for dual set up,

One is Lg flatron w2240.  second i s samsung syncmaster 2243nw.

Both use vga cables so i had to buy hdmi to vga adapters for them.

When i plug one of them they work both work ok for solo.

But when i plug them both as soon as windows boots they go into power saving mode?

Help dont know how to solve this problem

Is the adapter you bough an "ACTIVE" adapter if not it needs to be. If you don't see that word in the description you likely don't have the right one.

I would ask your cards maker for advice on this. They would know best. It may be something like you can't convert 2 HDMI's (not saying I know this to be true) to VGA, you might then need to use one HDMI and one Display Port to VGA or 2 DP to VGA. If you have a retail store near you that you can return cables you could pick up a few and try them out and return what doesn't work if your cards maker is of no help.
