What are your system specs?

CPU, motherboard, exact power supply model, graphics card model, etc?

 

[CerberusKCO]

CPU : i5-4590S 3.0 GHz
Motherboard : Lenovo 0B98401 Pro
GPU : Nvidia Gtx 1050 ti 4Gb

my computer was working perfectly a month ago but i dont know where's the problem, some friend told me it linked to the PCIe slot that not functionning.

Lenovo 0B98401 Pro is found in Small Form Factor Tiny systems. The stock power supplies in these systems is normally so weak that it has insufficient power to run the video card.

 

[Darkbreeze]

It could definitely be a power supply problem as Calvin has suggested, but let's cover the basics first. When you install the graphics card, you ARE moving the display cable from where it is attached to the motherboard, to one of the outputs on the graphics card, right?

i dont really thnk is the power supply cause it was working for a long time, it stoped when i added a 3rd SSD cause i had 2 HDD and when i added samsung 500Gb ssd i had this probleme.
and yes i checked, when i instal the graphic card i put the HDMI in the output of the grapggic card and the monitor

Disconnect ALL of the drives, then see if the system will POST and allow you to get into the BIOS with the display connected to the graphics card.

Also, make sure the monitor is set to HDMI input if you were using a different TYPE of cable with the integrated graphics.

If the problem started when you added an SSD, then the problem is likely either the SSD or the fact that your power supply is unable to handle the additional hardware, which is VERY likely.

Already tryed to disconnect all the drives and left only the SSD and checked the monitor its on HDMI and also the hdmi cable is plugged in the graphic card,
when i start my desktop the comlputer doesn't boot up like u saw on video and also i cant access to Bios cause keyboard is blocked can't do nothing..

What is the model of your GTX 1050 ti? Does it require a six pin auxiliary power connector? If so, does your power supply even HAVE one?

This can really only be a problem with an insufficient power supply or a faulty graphics card since it works fine with integrated graphics.

I would however check to see if there is an updated BIOS version available for your motherboard and if there is, update and try the card again.

 

[CerberusKCO]

My graphic card model is GTX 1050 Ti KFA 2 OC 4Gb / it doesn't require the six pin only u plug it in the PCIe slot

 

[Darkbreeze]

Yes, it DOES require a 6 pin. It says so RIGHT THERE ON THE PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS PAGE FOR YOUR UNIT.

That, is your problem.

 

[CerberusKCO]

i double checked my graphic card and it do not have any 6 Pins connectors;
on the official website they do say that there is no 6 Pin

[Darkbreeze]

Based on the model you gave me, the manufacturers site says it does. So unless you gave me the wrong model or they are showing the wrong information, IDK what to tell you. It says it needs a six pin.

[CerberusKCO]

that the right graphic card model, u can check and it doesn't have a pin slot nor output for that;
either way im sure that isnt the problem cause i tryed my friend graphic card and also had the same problem.

 

[CerberusKCO]

i guess that's linked to the bios version, does bios version can impact and get this problem?

 

[CerberusKCO]

i solved the problem; it was a Bios problem, i had the older version so i only downloaded my motherboard support driver (lenovo vantage) and it automaticly scanned and downloaded the latest Bios, then it worked.
Thanks anyway ^^
