Asus M5A78L-M/USB3 wont post with GTX-1050

[Omeganinjaboy]

Hi, I'm new to PC building and I have spent hours trying to figure it out but to no avail. I can't get my computer to post with my GTX-1050 installed. The light will turn on and the GPU fan will spin but the screen won't turn on and it turns off instantly. Without it, it boots to the bios fine and takes a while to shut off. I did try updating the bios as well. Also, I accidentally put the front panel button connector over the pc beeper speaker pins but corrected it right away early on. Also, I have no beeper speaker so I can't tell the beep codes (nothing came with it).

I have 8GB DDR3 RAM, an Asus M5A78L-M/USB3 Motherboard, an AMD FX 6300 with the stock cooler, a 2GB MSI GTX 1050 OC Edition, and a Seasonic M12 II Bronze Evo Edition.

So if it still works without the 1050 GPU, then you can assume that your system is ok.

Are you sure that it does not post, or are you not getting video signal?
You said "the screen won't turn on and it turns off instantly", what do you mean, the monitor or the PC?

Is the CPU Fan spinning? What do the Motherboard LED show? Do you see Keyboard LED flash?

How are you connecting the monitor?

Are you sure that the GPU is working?

I can't tell if it is posting but I assume not because when I press the power button on the pc it instantly shuts off when normally it takes a few seconds without the graphics card. Yes, all of the fans are spinning. There is no motherboard LED but case button light comes on and the keyboard lights turn on. I am connecting the monitor to the motherboard VGA slot. I am not sure the GPU is working but the fan on it spins up.

Graphics priority is set in BIOS and would normally be PCIe first (rather than mother board). If you plug in a GPU then the onboard graphics will not work.

If you see the keyboard LED flash, then you are in the POST process.

Just checking that you tried connecting monitor to the 1050?

Yes, I tried the 1050 on my tv and my projector. ( I have no HD monitors)

What monitor do you use when you plug into the motherboard?

Exact;y how ar eyou testing the 1050 GPU, what cable and what port?

As far as I know the 1050 will have DP. HDMI and DVI port. It does not have VGA.

To me it sounds like the problem is your connection from GPU to monitor.

I'm using the HDMI port on both. The monitor has a black screen on several I have tested it on. The monitor I used was just a small flatscreen TV with HDMI in.

It is a defective GPU.

Certainly looks like its in the GPU or cable, did you try it in another PC?

How did you determine that it was bad GPU?

I got a guy to bring his pc and graphics card. We tried all ports on the graphics card on several monitors and it din't work. We also tried his graphics card on my computer and it worked, so it isn't my motherboard.
