Zotac 1050 ti Card not recognized by motherboard

[vickyseauta]

Hello guys
Need help.
Today I received Zotac Nvidia GTX 1050ti mini from Amazon. However, when I installed it on my PC, it did not boot. The boot screen hanged and there was a beep in the CPU speaker similar to the one that happens when PC boots, but faint.

I am using MSI motherboard h-61 P20 (G3). I checked the compatibility, and found that it is compatible with the card. But I am not sure why this is happening. Also I have 450W power supply. Still I am getting the same problem.

Please provide me any solution. Urgently!!🙁

Assuming your PC run fine before, you got the problem only added the new GPU, gtx1050ti mini.

Try 1) If you had other GPU before the 1050ti mini, take out the gtx1050ti, use the old one or the onboard iGPU, download the DDU to uninstall the GPU driver in safe mode first, then shut down the PC, install the gtx1050ti mini.

2) Check the MB BIOS version to see it has the newer one or not, if it does not have, update it. https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/support/H61M-P20-G3
3) What is your 450W PSU? Model?

Hi
Thank you for the quick response. I tired using DDU but still the same. It hangs at the start screen.
I am not sure about the PSU manufacturer, but please check the link of it's image. I think that it is the problem with PSU, but not sure. As everything is working fine. All cpu and gpu fans are running. Just it is not able to boot. Or could it be the problem with graphic card?

Very upset rite now
Please have a look at these images for PSU and boot screen

The problem is from the PSU, from the picture, the +12V rail has only 10A, that is very bad for the gtx1050ti. You need buy the new PSU, I mean the good brand PSU.

Swap that junk PSU for a Corsair CX450m/550m, or a Seasonic 520w/620w.

MSI motherboard H-61 P20 .....some H61 chipset motherboards even with a recent BIOS won't run the 1000 series cards , could also be an issue.

Thanks a lot. I'll be getting new PSU in a day. I just hope that my motherboard supports the card.

Once you have a decent PSU and the latest BIOS , if it doesn't run it's the board.

Hi thanks for the solution. It could be an issue, but I am not sure about it. I have researched about it before purchasing the card, and found it will be compatible. Now, I think it may cause issues. I am going to change the PSU first and if the problem persists, will change the mobo as well.

Surely. WIll do. Thanks a lot for the suggestion.

Yes. I am going to do that. But hope PSU sorts out the issue. If not, I may have to upgrade everything from board to processor to RAM.

Good luck hopefully the PSU solves the issue , you need a new one regardless of the result.

Yes! You are correct. I need to upgrade. Collecting new hardware one at time these days..😀

One more thing I would like to know. The current Processor is Intel core i3 2100, which is kind a old. Can this be a problem as I just found out that it might not be compatible with PCI 3.0.
Not sure if that's true or not. Please tell me this as well.
Thanks

Something you also may want to try is a CMOS reset, of your motherboard, once you get a proper PSU.

Hello guys thanks for the answers.
I got new Corsair 550W PSU, but the problem was still persisting.
So, I updated my BIOS, and wollaaahhh..
It worked...
Upgrading the BIOS was what it needed.
Everything is cool. No such problems after that. Testing games now on it..
Thanks everyone..

Glad to hear the most recent BIOS is sometimes the ticket to success.
