Hello,
I just got the MSI GEFORCE GTX 1050 TI to replace my old EVGA GTX 560. I wanted to put it in my MSI 990FXA-GD80 mobo.
So I uninstalled my old video drivers and took the old card out.
I load the new one into the mobo and plug everything back in. After turning on the power and starting the computer up, the mobo will not post and gets stuck on BIOS error code b2. My monitor is black (but showing a connection to the computer) other than it says B2 in the bottom right corner and has a _ in the top left. b2 reads on the LED lights on the mobo.
The new graphics card seems to start up as the fans turn on for a while and the LEDs are all on. After 30 seconds or so the fans will turn off but the LEDs stay on. Nothing seems to change after this.
I've put the old card back in and everything is working like before. I've begun looking for solutions but am not too sure. I have considered updating my BIOS but I dont know if that will really solve the problem and I've never done it before.
My BIOS version is E7640AMS V11.4.
I have been looking at the updates on this page:
https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/support/990FXA-GD80.html#down-bios
I have 8Gb ram and 700 watts of power. I have an AMD FX(tm)-8120 Eight-Core Processor.
I hope someone can help. Thank you.
