I have an Asus phoenix GTX 1050ti (no separate power connector) which when I switched to my new PC which is a 10gen i5 and a H510 motherboard. It doesn't display anything from any of the video out ports.

However when I plug the graphics card back into my older system which is a first gen i5 with a intel DH55TC board, the card works fine. Absolutely no erros, no fps drops and normal temperatures etc. I tried another graphics card on my new PC which is a 1650 super to rule out a faulty motherboard and the new graphics card works on the new PC fine.
How do I solve this issue? Or has anyone else experienced this too with a 1050ti
 
Solution
If your PC can boot into Windows using the IGP, check if the GPU shows up in device manager. If it doesn't, then your GPU that works fine in a different PC isn't even getting detected in your new one which could be a sign of a non-working PCIe slot. Could be a bad motherboard, bad CPU, bent socket pins or just a problem with the CPU not sitting correctly in the socket.

If you have another GPU you can toss in, you may want to try it out. If it is an older card with legacy BIOS, you may not be able to boot from it but it should still show up in device manager once you get into Windows.
New pc is an i5 10400, 16gb ram, H510 motherboard and a corsair 650watt powersupply 80plus bronze. All new.
My old pc is an i5 760, 16gig ram, Intel board DH55TC, with an Antec VP700(this power supply is about 10 months old).
 
I did use the exact same cables on both systems.

However, I did update the bios on my new system. However, I thought maybe I should do a bios update on the card itself with its own version. Still no improvement.

It's a gigabyte H510 H.
I did try my friends 1650 super in the new pc and that works fine with no problems.
However I didn't try using the IGpu to see if it's detected in windows manager. I'll try that and revert back to you. If it is detected in windows manager. What you suggest I do? It's an Asus phoenix GTX 1050ti.
 
I also asked my friend to try the 1050ti in his pc. There also it didn't work. He has a i5 11th gen with an Asus rog strix B460-H and 650w power supply.

So it came down to the 1050ti only accepting my old system.
 
Have you tried forcing pcie to gen 3 in bios rather than on auto? Technically shouldn't matter as 10th gen only supports 3 and pcie slot on 5xx series should default to that version anyway but there may be a glitch. Having your friend experience no display as well could be the other way around, cpu supports pcie 4 but not motherboard.

See if you can force gen 3 using igpu and then install card.

Being able to use a different GPU but not yours does certainly sound like there may be an issue with your GPU.

I doubt boju's suggestion of limiting the CPU to PCIe 3.0 would do anything since 10th-gen do not support anything more than that anyway. What might help is forcing 2.0 as your old PC was 2.0. This would reduce the number of variables between new and old system by one.
