I installed a evga geforce gtx 1050 ti ssc on my Gateway DX4870-UB20P and have not been able to get the gpu to work. Is it possible that my mobo isnt compatible with this gpu? I plug the gpu in and turn on the machine. It shows the splash screen in half the monitor, makes a series of beeps before it boots up to windows log in. It takes 10 minutes or so to get to that screen. I have downloaded the latetest drivers for this gpu and windows wont use it. Windows determines that the generic driver is best. I have also tried using DDU.exe to clean up the machine and that still did nothing. I also tried to update my bios but cant seem to find a bios flash newer than 2012. Now two weeks later. I have upped my memory to 14gb, psu to 650 watts and now it wont even let me log in. Boot stops on windows splash screen and wont reach log in. Not sure what to do now.
