This is my pc: http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=c03028604

Is the gtx 1050 compatible with my motherboard

The motherboard has a gen 2 PCIE slot so it should work. The 300W should be able to handle the video card as it only requires a 300W. This said I wouldn't expect it last more a year or 2 tops. You may want to get a quality PSU at some point.

Did you connect the power supply to the card? As in the 6 pin connection?

Check your bios. Make sure you have bios 7.16 Rev. A. If not here is a link ot latest bios.

Also try reseating your video card by pulling out the card and putting it back in. Try resetting your bios.

I dont see a 6 pin connection

I don't think the 1050/ti require auxiliary power, much the same way the 750ti didn't. Although, if your card happens to have one, make sure it's plugged in.

Is the motherboard supplying enough power? Because apparently the graphics card is supposed to be powered by the motherboard? pls help. I already spent 150 on this 🙁

It should work... Did you set the BIoS to use the pcie slot? You may need to use the onboard graphics to get into the BIoS and make the switch.

All graphics cards are powered by the motherboard. If additional power is needed, then you'll need the connectors from the power supply (6 or 8 pin plugs) which go into their matching sockets on your graphics card.

Does your motherboard supply enough power? It's a proprietary HP motherboard, generally an unknown entity, and usually not built very well. Probably not. But it shouldn't prevent the graphics card from working. Did you plug the display cable into the graphics card? Is said cable still plugged into the motherboard? Is the cable plugged into the correct port in the back of the graphics card? Do you need to go into bios to tell the computer to actually use the graphics card? Does the computer even detect there being a graphics card? Did you push hard enough to make sure it's fully seated in the slot? Do the fans spin?

Start with physical symptoms. Just telling us it doesn't work is like telling your friendly neighbourhood mechanic "my car doesn't work, tell me how to fix it" when you've neither physically shown him the car nor described what doesn't feel right in some detail.
