The power supply for the Pi is AC-DC 5V @ 1A:90-264V in enclosed wall plug (USB switching GS Series) Mfg is: Mean Well USA Allied MFR Part # GS05U-USB.

I have to think it is the correct power supply since it was recommended.

Your power supply sounds fine. One problem could be the VGA to HDMI adapter, but you said you tried the RCA video out with another monitor and that didn't work either, so that tends to indicate some other issue. I used a VGA to HDMI adapter with no problems.

You might try to update the firmware on the card. If that has no effect, I'd look to return it for another.
