It appears that you bought a a VGA to RGB component adapter since RGB
component is a subset of VGA and most likely your TV uses YPrPb component
which is not the same interface although they use the same cable with R, G
and B RCA connectors.

Three connectors, usually vertically mounted, that most of today's TVs
have.

If you have a two-connector RCA cable attached to two of the three,
you are really screwing up BADLY.

It is the an analog video protocol interface that is designed for use with
HDTVs and supports the ATSC standards for digital television. It is
different from the RGB analog protocol video interface that is used by PCs
for PC monitors which were designed for use with PC monitors. Both
standards use the same cables which have 3 RCA connectors one red, one green
and one blue. You can Google or Bing for more information on the more
technical details.
If you are trying to get a PC to talk to an HDTV you need to have a graphics
card that supports "HDTV-Out" which means the YPrPb component interface. If
your HDTV also has a VGA connection then it you can use a standard PC
monitor cable.
