Hello :)

Can anybody confirm that the (EVGA) GeForce GTX 1050Ti (SC 4GB) works together with
the ASRock H81M-HDS? According to this post it should work:
http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-3270012/gtx-1050-compatible-setup.html

But, I have a "black screen" problem with the mentioned graphics card and my following setup:

Mainboard: ASRock H81M-HDS
CPU: Intel Core i5 4570 Haswell Socket 1150 LGA
BIOS: P2.20 (latest Version)
Power: Thermaltake Berlin 630W
System-RAM: 8 GB

OS: Win7 64bit

The problem is:
When the GeForce GTX 1050Ti is plugged in the system boots with the screen beeing and staying black. That is the ASRock/BIOS Logo is not displayed, the Windows start up screen is not displayed -nothing is displayed at all. Interestingly Windows starts "normally" - I hear the short Windows startup melody, but the screen stays black.
The fans of the new GTX are spinning and there are no beeps while booting.

So the whole system behaves somehow like there is no graphics adapter plugged in or connected to a monitor or like the mainboard just does not recognize the graphics card.


Things I did/checked:
- Uninstalling all old drivers (old PCI-E card (MSI GTX 570 TwinFrozrIII) / Intel HD 4600) via
DDU
- Setting the primary graphics in the BIOS to PCI-E
- Monitor(s) (Iiyma, Dell) and Cable(s) (DVI, HDMI, VGA) all work with my old graphics card (MSI or Intel set to primary in BIOS)

- I mailed the ASRock support days ago describing the problem, but they don't reply ...

- I don´t have the possibility to put the card into another system for all my folks beeing notebook users ...

So maybe someone in the forum has any suggestions to solve the issue or knows that my setup does NOT work the GTX 1050Ti.

Thanx a lot and kind regards :)

old card works, monitors work with old card. system is booting but no screen. I doubt its a power issue the old card eats more then the 1050ti. when you use the intel GPU only are you getting images on-screen?
Are you using an adapter between the monitor and the GPU?
did the card ever work for you? its possible the card is DOA, can you return it?
you can't test the card in a new system but you can verify everything else works.

@madmatt30, R_1 - thanks for the lightning fast reply :)

@madmatt30
1: Yes, set primray GPU to PCI-E and plugged the monitor to the 1050Ti
2: BIOS version is P2.20 (latest version)

@ R_1
- intel GPU only: Yes, when I use intel GPU only, I get images on-screen with both monitors
- adapters: No, I don´t use adapters, I connected the 1050 "directly" to every of my monitors via DVI cable or
HDMI cable (both cables work fine with my old 570).

- I bought the card last week from EVGA and never got it working and meanwhile I guess I have to return it ...

So you think the 1050 should generally be compatible with my setup?

Thanks again and best regards :)
