5 beeps when GPU is plugged in the Gigabyte H310M-A motherboard

[warrenally]

Hi all I bought a new board today the Gigabyte H310M-A, a new processor i3 8100 8th gen, and crusial 8Gb DDR4 ram. When I plugged my older GPU GeForce GT220. I got a black screen and 5 or 6 beeps when booting.

The system works only when I removed the GPU and start using the onboard HDMI out. I already installed Windows

Anyone here can help me out please?

Thank you guys

The number of beeps usually relates to a particular hardware issue, e.g 3 beeps is usually RAM issue. 5 Beeps could be GPU and given that it doesn't display it suggests the GPU is faulty. Try just using the on-board graphics? The GPU is quite old and the new Intel® UHD Graphics 630 built into the CPU would probably be better than the GPU.
The only thing I can suggest is getting another GPU and trying it, the PCI slot could have issues but given that the motherboard is brand new I doubt it. It seems the GPU may have finally given out.

I've inserted an another GPU also, yet still the PC didn't boot. Yesterday I tried something, I plugged the HDMI cable on the on-board graphics it's working; then swapped the cable to the GPU and it works too. But the thing is that when I tried to boot again with the cable on the GPU. It still provides the 5 beeps for the GPU issue.

5 beeps according to Gigabyte is Cpu error code.

indeed but still its beeping only when the GPU is on the board

Are there any bent pins on cpu socket on motherboard?

Nope, its beeping, not showing any bios information on my monitor but it shows windows starting. I tried to unplugged the GPU and have only the HDMI cable to onboard graphics it works showing the bios.
