Hello, i just bought a GTX 1050 Ti. I deleted the old GT 610 drivers and put in the new gpu, i started my pc but it whouldn't show anything on the screen. The GPU fans didn't even spin... so i can't go to my desktop and install the new drivers, and yes, i tryed with the integrated graphics too. It's my first time changing GPUs so please someone tell me whats the problem. Thanks :)

First make sure that your PSU is able to handle the extra power to the GPU because the 1050TI needs more power than the older GT610, If the GPU has an extra Power plug on top then make sure it's connected to the PSU as well.

A GPU should show a Picture on screen even if there is no driver installed, so if that doesn't work then no need to worry about the driver at the moment

My gpu is an Asus, yes i think they dont spin until 60C, i hope thats it. For the psu it only uses the PCIe no external power connector. my monitor might be the problem i think the HDMI in ia broken but the VGA looks good. I'll buy an adapter.

Yes it works, i tried it on the TV. Now i need a HDMI to VGA adapter. Thank you for telling me about the fans not spinning until they reach 60C. I was SO afraid, i thought it was defective. Thank you so much man.
