Hello. I have just bought a new PC in order to replace the existing one. The only component I have kept is the video board, because of budget reasons (Palit GeForce GTS 450 Sonic 1GB GDDR5 128-bit ).
The components that I have bought are the following :
MB : GIGABYTE B460M DS3H
CPU : Intel Comet Lake, Core i3 10100F 3.6GHz
RAM : HyperX Fury Black 8GB DDR4 2400MHz CL15
PSU : M12II-520 EVO Edition Bronze 520W
SSD : Kingston A2000 250GB
Everything alright, I started assembling the PC and cannibalizing the old one for the GPU, as my new CPU doesnt have IGPU. Once I press the power button, the leds go on, fans start to spin, but no image on the monitor (D-SUB connection). I started reinstalling all the pieces, but no luck. So I went to a local IT service. The guys started replacing components one by one with theirs, and finally (after testing the PSU) they said that the GPU (GTS 450) is not compatible with my MB or CPU. They installed a RX 5600 and voila, the PC boots into BIOS.
But my GTS 450 is not faulty, as I am currently using it on my old Pentium G4400, right now.
Is it true what the IT guys said? Can the old video board not be compatible with the new CPU and new MB? Do i need to buy a new video card? Thank you.
