First boot to Windows 7 and hold down the WINDOWS key (the flag) and press P at the same time. A menu should pop up and you want to select "extend" while both monitors are plugged in. If this did not solve the problem:

1) Try using the open VGA slot on your graphics card and see if it works on both monitors
If that works go to 2; else skip to 2b:
2) Try using the DVI to VGA plug on your main monitor - If this did not solve your problem, unplug the VGA cable and try using the DVI to VGA cable alone on both monitors.
2b) The second monitor may be faulty. See if you have another monitor or television screen and try using that instead - if that still does not work, you may have a broken DVI "slot" on your graphics card and unless it has a valid warranty you're screwed. (If its made by XFX it should have a limited lifetime warranty).

Also, I don't believe I'm familiar with a R5 780. You sure you don't mean AMD 78XX, GTX 780 (doubtful due to VGA being a outdated standard) or something along those lines?

That link still does not mention anything about the R5 780 which I'm still close to 99% sure does not exist. Try using a program like Speccy or run a DXDIAG.
