Yes, you need an adapter HDMI to DVI.

There are two kinds: HDMI male to DVI female, with this you will need a DVI cable. HDMI > DVI adapter

And a HDMI female to DVI male, in this one you will need a HDMI cable.

For more information you should read this great answer about different ports, qualities and ways for connect them.

You have to configure the output. Hold at the same time the key Windows+P http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976064

Ok. Shutdown the computer, disconnect the dvi port, connect only the hdmi port, boot. – n00b – 2014-08-22T16:11:01.747
