A quick search doesn't show me much in the way of detailed specs but there are a couple of things I can suggest. One, can you boot into the motherboard bios and see if it's a 'legacy' bios(old style) or a newer UEFI bios? These cards tend to work best with UEFI.
The other thing, is this a pre-built computer? I ask because some pre-builts use motherboards that don't put out the standard 75W on the pci-ex x16 slot. Of the two cards, the 1050 is substantially more powerful, so for gaming that's what you'd want if possible.
