Just bought a GTX 1050 ti
upgrading from a GTX 550 ti

inserted new card into MOBO, I made sure it was properly seated (this particular card doesn't require power directly from PSU, but from MOBO)

turn on PC

ASUS BIOS screen appears
"Please press DEL to enter UEFI BIOS setting"

keyboard will not turn on (no numlock light which normally is on by default when PC is booted)
mouse is working (lights are on)

after some time at this screen, the computer shuts off


Things I have tried:

uninstall all nvidia drivers using DDU
bought new PSU (Seasonic S12 II, 520W ATX 12v, 80 plus Bronze)
tried all USB ports for keyboard (3.0 and 2.0, front and back panels)

What is curious to me is that I can have everything function normally with my GTX 550ti card in, but then a simple swap to the 1050ti and things look rough. My old PSU was 850w which is more than enough for the job I have read. I thought that perhaps it was just dying.

I've ran out of ideas, and my problem seems to be rare as I cannot find a forum post similar to mine.


Here are my relevent specs:
Motherboard - ASUS M5a99fx pro r2.0
PSU - Seasonic S12 II
GPU (current) - GTX 550 ti
Processor - AMD FX 8120 Eight-Core @ 3100 MHz
OS - Windows 7 (64bit)
ASUS BIOS version - 0403 , dated 05/23/2012

Your motherboard has a compatible slot. Only thing I see is the motherboard sure has a lot of bios updates. Try getting the latest bios and see if that helps. Newest one is usb stablity fix.

Check your bios version as 2501 is the newest.

I'll update BIOS and report the changes.

Update: BIOS update fixes this problem
