I have just purchased the ROG STRIX-GTX1050-2G-GAMING graphics card after install i get no display at all. the computer boots fine just no signal. when the computer is powered on the gpus fans spin and then stop 5 secs later, gpus LEDs are on also. when i revert back to old graphics card everything works great. old gpu is asus geforce gt 630.

my spec
hp slimline s5-1015uk
windows 10 64bit
i3 2100
mobo foxconn 2abf - socket 1155 - chipset h61 - model h61a - bios AMI ver 7.10
8GB ddr 3 ram
1TB HDD

I have tried updating all system drivers using driver booster no change
uninstalling old gpu display drivers with ddu in safe mode and installing new drivers no change
resetting CMOS setting no change

when I go to Foxconn website there is a bios update available but I'm not sure it the right one. when I put in all info from cpuz the picture of the board isn't the same as mine. I don't want to install the wrong Bios
 


Things usually become tricky with those pre-builds. If you are not sure, do not flash it or you can brick the mobo. Contact them and describe your problem, asking whether a bios update is needed and where you can get it.

ace ATX switching power supply A-700BR
 
That may be a 700w PSU, but it is a garbage PSU. I wouldnt use that to power any PC, at all. You can try other stuff that will be suggested, but at some point, put a quality PSU on your build and see if it works how it should.
