Upgraded to MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, no signal to monitor

[Lukas_22]

Hi, I have a similar problem to many people who asked previously, but with one single twist.
I have a PC HP Pavilion 550-137nc and recently decided to upgrade from the old GPU which is Geforce GTX 745 to new MSI GeForce GTX 1050Ti.
I changed the old 180W HP power source for new 460W one by Fortron.
I use a VGA monitor, I have an active DP to VGA converter, but nonetheless, after I pluged the new GPU in, there's no signal to the monior. The Fans on the GPU are running, but that's it.

According to the description from HP, the Motherboard is Orchid 3. I could not find any more specific information on it, let alone whether it supports these newer GPUs. I'm desperate. Please advise.

did you check to see if that hp bios supports any card over the 700 series first ?? '' a similar problem to many people who asked previously''

then you see it came with a low power lo pro card that could indicate the pci-e slot may be limited to a 25w card ?? in this case 50w ??


some models of store bought computers [dell.hp,acer,ect..] may come with a ''locked or fixed'' / legacy or uefi bios and may not allow you to change certain hardware as a video card.. this is done to protect them from undue warranty claims and refunds .this is not done to hurt you but to protect them. you really need to see if that upgrade has been proven to work in your model first before you invest money in it .. there are a lot of these threads here at toms to look at some models will allow upgrades and some dont.. and a lot of guys here say ya ya ya when is really no no no...it would be sad you spent $200 on a card that won't post after you installed it as most find out. then get told its your psu and you spend more and end up right back where you are now, but its up to you good luck..


you got to know the boards in these computers are not like the ones we use to do custom builds witch are open to upgrading with in the boards compatibly . the bios is custom made for there design and just for the parts they authorize to be used on there computers there only guaranteed to work as is out of the box as you bought it ,..


also these boards do not have to meet atx standards and there pci-e slot power may not do the required 75w needed for most higher end cards and can be limited to say 45 or 60w that is all thats needed with the low end factory oem cards that it may of shipped with

in the end any upgrade you do is all your own risk . the prebuilt manufactures only guarantees there computers work as sold to you as is out of the box from there factory with what they put on it , not a drop more

there in business to sell you whole ready to go computers , and dont worry about you upgrading them or giving you support to do so . thats not how they make there money they prefer you run to wal-mart and buy there ''better'' latest models

looking on your model at hp forums there guys seem to just give broad beat around the bush answers

'' If you change the setup by introducing the GTX-1050, it might disrupt that scheme, however if the place you purchase the video card has a good return policy, give it a try.''

Well I guess I'll return the parts and take my money back. That's not so hard around these parts.

I tried to look some up to see ?? I was wondering seeinf that is a newer hp and has 10 and I'm sure a uefi bios if windows 10 has secure boot ? like with windows 8 that sometimes had to be disabled for some cards to work ..

''You may need to disable Secure Boot to run some PC graphics cards''

give that a shot if it can

I was facing the same problem with HDMI port of GTX 1050 TI.
Solution that worked for me was to uninstall the NVIDIA driver using the tool available at
http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-unin....

Install the latest Nvidia Driver from www.geforce.com. (Please note unintall driver is required,simple reinstall will not work.)
I hope it helps;
