Older Macbooks (2012) can only add one monitor at a time

I bought this specifically to use 2 external monitors with my Macbook Air 2012, one DVI, one VGA. However, when a DVI connection is made, the VGA monitor goes black. I've been playing around with a bunch of display settings but can't seem to find a way to use my 2 external monitors.

Cons
  • Long term
