I recently recieved a GTX 1050 Ti Gigabyte Dual Fan 4GB Edition, it won't work.

To put this in chronological order, I opened up the GTX 1050 TI and set it on my desk, (this next part was probably my mistake). I went to Device Manager and deleted my old driver (this driver was for the gpu that came with my computer and was built in, you couldn't remove it), the screen went black and I decided to turn my computer off and insert my new graphics card. After a lot of trial and error I finally managed to insert my graphics card into the PCIE slot. I plugged everything back in and then when it booted up it only showed this message, "PLEASE POWER DOWN AND CONNECT THE PCIe POWER CABLE(S) FOR ALL GRAPHICS CARDS" and this is what I think. Since I deleted the old gpu driver. It no longer sees that as a gpu, it doesn't see my gtx 1050 ti because the drivers and installed for it, not because the power chord isn't plugged in. I think what I would try is get the gpu out and then see what happens. In conclusion, I could remove it and see what happens or do something else. What do you think I should do?

UPDATE: The PC no longer shows any display but the gpu fans are moving

[strike]You never actually said if you plugged the PCIe power connector in the GPU.[/strike] I checked and it appears none of the Gigabyte 1050 Ti require an extra power connector.

Remove the GPU and connect your display to your motherboard. Turn the computer on and press the corresponding key to boot to BIOS. Check for the default display adapter to change it from integrated/iGPU to PCIE. Then reinstall the GPU and see if it works.

Either way either your integrated graphics or the discrete GPU can still display without a driver installed. So, deleting the driver shouldn't cause it to not display.

Btw, what are the rest of your system specs including power supply?

this is false there ARE some gigabyte 1050 ti models that require a 6-pin

so yes, if it has the pcie plug you must populate it to make it run

if your power supply lacks the cable then this is your problem

I've been messing around with it and here's some information.

Computer: Lenovo H535 (the one with 8GB of ram)

Integrated GPU: AMD Radeon HD 8670D

Processor: AMD A10 7600 APU (quad core)

Power Supply: LITEON | MODEL NO.PS-5281-7VR | LITEON PN: PS-5281-7VR5-ROHS
Power Supply (info from another website): Device Type: Power supply Nominal VoltageAC 120/230 V ( 50/60 Hz )
Power Provided 280 Watt

Other info: So I figured out that if I take out the gpu everything runs perfectly besides the fact that my amd radeon 8670D driver are gone. In the Lenovo BIOS settings I changed it to PEG Active Video and am restarting it right now as I'm typing this... And it didn't work, but now that we know that that doesn't work maybe it'll lead us on a different path to getting it working

So does your 1050 Ti have a 6-pin connector and have your connected a 6-pin PCIe power connector to it?

"PLEASE POWER DOWN AND CONNECT THE PCIe POWER CABLE(S) FOR ALL GRAPHICS CARDS"


have you done so???

I got it fixed now, I just bought a 1050. But I never had any extra power cables to put into the graphics card. My PSU is pretty bad and barely has anything to spare, I know I could've just gone to my local computer store and bought one, except I didn't feel the need to. Everything works now with the graphics card.
