Lower end Sandy+Ivy bridge OEM motherboards may not support a 10 series card as it requires a fully UEFI capable motherboard. The machine may not boot with the new card installed. To check if your motherboard is UEFI capable, download HWiNFO64, run it, click the "motherboard" section and scroll to BIOS. It will either say UEFI BIOS Capable with a green check or not capable with a red mark. This check could help you avoid guessing. It is good to be sure is all.
