GT 620 upgrade to GTX 1050 Ti error starting up

[bertractor]

Hey guys, first time posting here.

My issue is the following:
I have had a prebuilt PC for the last 6 years (2012). It has always been working fine, but lately I've been playing more modern games and you guessed it: my GPU is utter trash for these kind of games.

So I decided to upgrade my Gt 620 to a GTX 1050 Ti without thiking about too much problems that could arise. I popped the old one out, popped the new one in and restarted my PC to experience a short beep and my monitor not waking up.

I have tried starting up with old graphics card again which worked like a charm. What is wrong and does anyone have a solution?

PC Specs and attachments:

Gtx 1050 Ti
8gb ddr3
Intel i5 3470 quad core
300W PSU
2 monitors with Vga cables
Mouse
Keyboard
Headset

I mean when restarting my pc it says "installing updates" but nothing happens in the end

Inside the BIOS_Acer_P11.B1_A_A.zip file, there's a Readme.pdf file. Did you follow those instructions?

What does "copy bios folder under OS desktop"? Sorry computer language and english are not my main languages ha

For me, the newest file just reads flash and then closes after "running as admin"

It says something like "existing rom file error" or something. It appears for like 0.1 sec that's why I cant read it

Okay it reads: 3 - error: ROM file does not match existing BIOS size

I really think this has to do with the win8 when my system is win7. Thanks anyways guys I'm most likely going to buy everything new

Okay reporting back: I am trying the HDMI cable and now it gives me 1 long beep and 2 short beeps. The BIOS can NOT be upgraded from this system, it is the latest BIOS acer can offer me with windows 7. On another forum someone said it shouldn't be the PSU. I have no idea where to go from here. If I can't solve it I'll probably bring this card back and just buy a new system all around.

1 long followed by 2 short beeps means that the BIOS is unable to initialize the video card.

At this point, if you can't upgrade the BIOS (never force it, either you can or can't, don't brick the MB) then perhaps it's time to replace the computer due to HW incompatibility.

@stdragon thank you so much for helping me out. I failed to upgrade BIOS after 10 attempts, so I'm just going to leave it and buy a new pc all around. This one is old anyways. You were a great help!
