The GTX 1050 ti requires a new or recent motherboard with UEFI - - it won't work on older motherboards which only have legacy BIOS like your 2AB5.
well i saw on several threads that old motherboards will work with modern gpus .. as this guy has bought a gtx 1060 for his pc that it happens to be a pc with a 2008 motherboard,bios not updated since 2010 and i'm sure that his motherboard does not have uefi bios ( http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3170939/graphics-card-motherboard.html ) ...i even saw a youtuber put a 1080 with and old legacy bios mobo,and it worked fine (https://youtu.be/TScpVAGNdcI)
and i know that there are also many report of booting issues.. so how do you explain that? can the gtx 1050 ti work on this motherboard pegatron 2ab5 model,chipset sandybridge,southbridge h67,bios brand AMI,cpu i5 2500,the motherboard has a pci express x16 2.0 slot?
all the gpu/bios-uefi issue in the hp,dell,etc oem builds is with the booting problem, not to be able to make the system recognize the new added hardware,and that problem is because of the secure boot is enabled by default, i can be disabled in the bios menu

i just saw my bios did not have secure boot option but i did see some booting order about uefi and legacy components
here's the pic https://imgur.com/a/YD9gY
héritée means legacy
i don't know if tha means that it can load uefi based components

You are right with secure boot, but it´s not always only this BIOS switch. It all comes down to the manufacturer´s BIOS design.
e.g. your example video, there is a PC which was optimized for windows 8, therfore the secure boot feature is selectable in the BIOS.
Your Pegatron doesn´t know about this feature at all and it can´t be changed in BIOS.
Which system do you use by the way? for example: HPE H8-1010pt

well then how does the 2008 motherboard that i'm sure has no secure boot option or anything is compatible with the gtx 1060??

Like said, it is just one sign that it can be compatible. If you want it to know 100%, you will have to try it yourself and with all BIOS versions and all motherboards on the market.
It´s like always, new hardware should work on old standardized hardware connections, but still some software/firmware/BIOS will not recognize it or will recognize it correctly with no issues.
HP will tell you that it should work, but it´s not designed to work with other hardware than sold with this system from HP.
Motherboards sold seperately have better support than prebuilt systems like your HP, but even than it´s up to the manufacturer to implement a future proof BIOS or release new updates for it.
You will have to look into your specfic motherboard and search over the net for a compatible graphics cards with this board.
as far as I found:
The 750TI, 660TI, R9 280, HD7790 should work

changing the integrated graphics to the gtx 1050 ti after testing the pc on userbenchmark site does not report an incompatibility with the motherboard..
http://www.userbenchmark.com/PCBuilder/Custom/S2247-M517.188434.1134.358331vsS2247-M517.7697.1134.358331?tab=GPU
i think that i just need to try it myself to see if it will work because the result defer between all king of bios versions and motherboards..
when i have the gtx 1050 that i ordered i'll test it and give you the results..
i hope it will work for me

because the motherboard has a PCIe port, userbenchmark is reporting it´s compatible, so it´s not that reliable and could lead to problems. It´s just to have a look at equal systems what other users tested successfully.
I doubt the 1050 will work, but wish you good luck anyways
Which GTX 1050 did you order?

I meant a better one than you have now, because other 1155 Mainboards than the Pegatron board will support the GTX 1050TI with ease.
edit: here some builds which are compatible to your CPU and new GPU (at the bottom click on "load baseline user benchmarks" and have a look at the used motherboards):

and guess what, it´s not your motherboard 
You can get the Intel DH67BL and it will work, with yours I don´t see a chance, sorry

it's older, it has not been supported for ages, bios version is outdated from 2010, and at that time uefi is not even present as an alternative to the legacy bios!
well the one problem that is going to face me, if i try to put this gpu in my mobo, is that my motherboard is not going to reconise the gtx 1050 ti and the pc will not boot due to the outdated uefi/bios issue
correct me if i'm wrong

It´s not only the uefi issue, that´s just one issue, which is in my eyes less important. The most important issue here is how the BIOS of a motherboard is programmed. If just the graphics cards/hardware IDs/chip generation are programmed into it, which were sold back in time with this HP system, all other attempts to install another GPU without a proper BIOS update from HP will fail. It would be no problem for HP to program such a BIOS, but won´t because of economical reasons. They wanna sell complete new systems. That´s why pre-built systems will never have a good upgrade path. If it works, you are lucky, if not, get a new system/motherboard.
That´s of course why these systems can be cheaper than seperately sold quality components. You get what you pay for.
Let´s say you would like to upgrade to a 3rd gen CPU like the I7 3770, it won´t work as well, because of a missing hardware ID in the BIOS. All motherboards I know of, which were sold seperately got a BIOS update to support this.
