The Problem:
The problem is that i recently bought a MSI GTX 970 4GB GPU for my old pc (it's from 2011). When the pc starts it just stays at the "BIOS Startup-screen". After a couple of minutes there sound 1 beep and right after 3 rappid beeps in a row, and the fans on my GPU stops spinning.

What i've already done to try solving the problem:
Updated BIOS from AMI 7.08 to latest AMI 7.15 (Windows 7 x64-bit)
Tried with other graphics cards (older), and they work fine.
Resetted CMOS two times (With and without the new GPU)
I've made sure that the 6-pin and the 8-pin was probably connected.
I've made sure that GPU was probably connected to the PCI Express x16 socket.
Tried smashing the ESC and F12 keys at "BIOS [strike]Startup[/strike] Stuck-screen".

PC Specs:
HP Product: HPE 555sc (In a Cooler Master HAF 912 Adv. Case)
Windows 7 x 64-bit on HDD (also got Windows 8.1 Pro x64-bit on SSD)
Pegatron IPISB-CH, LGA1155 CPU Socket Motherboard
Intel Core i7-2600 3.40GHz
Cooler Master G650M, 650W PSU
MSI GTX 970 GAMING 4G GPU
Kingston ssdNOW KC300 SSD
Hitachi 2TB HDD

My thoughts:
The motherboards software is old and incompatible with the GPU (Latest drivers is from 13/10-2011). But isn't there a fix for it? (I have tried to look at various forums for an answer)

My concerns is that i will have to buy another Motherboard and therefore another CPU also, becouse in my country there is nearly only MB /w LGA1150 Sockets.

Note: I appreciate all answers relevant to my problem! Thanks :)
 
Solution
Sorry to say but my guess is the motherboard is not capable of handling the GPU. You've surely tried all obvious solutions so I'd recommend getting either a new CPU/Mobo setup or a cheap Z77 or just Ivy-Bridge generation board to guarantee compatibility.

Yea thanks for your reply / help... I'm about to get a new compatible motherboard around next week. It's sad but necessary.
