Hi :(, so this christmas my parents gave me a new MSI GTX 1050 2GB . So I excitedly went to install it, after I installed it, everytime I start my pc, it gets to this screen every time (usually this screen appears first, and then my pc boots up): http://imgur.com/a/pCiIV and it does a beep sound every 20 seconds or so. Help me, what should I do? Notes: -Whenever I press the ESC button nothing happens, I can't get to the MOBO settings.
-The first time I bought this PC it was pre build. It had these specs : http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=c03052251
-Then I have changed most parts. Today, before I received the new GTX 1050, the specs where these: MOBO: Same shitty mobo (H-CUPERTINO2-H61-uA TX (Cupertino2)) CPU: Same I5 2320 RAM: Same (6GB) Graphics Card: HD 7770 bought in 2012 or 2013 PSU: Corsair GS800W HDD:Switched to a 1TB WD a few months ago because the 1TB Seagate that came with the prebuilt pc had broken. -When I start the PC I can see the GTX1050's fans spinning. Aprreciated for any help!

Hello Miguel,

i have the same mobo and i can confirm that the problem actually is from the motherboard itself (because it's an OEM motherboard from HP) it hasn't got any BIOS updates since 2012 so that's why it's not able to boot with your new graphics card...however you have two options:
1- there's a glitch in this motherboard which allows you to use your new GPU (but it's kinda makes your PC boot time longer) i saw that in this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkBTSlBW2oc (the guy in this video says that it has to be tried in your own risk but im not sure since this method still works with him)
2- buy a NEW non-OEM motherboard (like Gigabyte,ASUS,MSI,ASRock...etc) that is compatiable with your system (Socket 1155),along with a...

Regards,
Bill
