I just built a pc today with the following parts.
i5 3570
GA H77 D3H MVP motherboard
2gb ddr3 ram
500w psu

The pc boots normally when I boot it using onboard graphics but when I tried adding my gt1030 into it, it got stuck on the Motherboards gigabyte logo.
I tried to boot it multiple times but no luck.
However When I switched the gpu for a GT 710 it decided to boot but with low resolution.
I also tried booting with the gt 710 on the top slot and the gt 1030 on the bottom slot. It booted but when I plugged the dvi cable into the gt 1030 it doesn’t show.

I wonder what’s wrong? My Gt 1030 or the motherboard not supporting the gt 1030.
If the motherboard doesn’t support the gt1030, what is the best gpu it supports?
Thanks

As described above in detail in my preious posting, all you need to do is to make sure that your Bios initial graphic is set either on Auto or better on PEG mode to allow your PC to display through your GT 1030 , save changes you made in this Bios and exit , switch your monitor input cable from your motherboard video output to your GT 1030 video port, and you should have proper display.

I maybe wrong, but I am not sure if you can have 2 totally different cards working in the same computer. I think you have to play with windows 10 display settings to get all that to work.
Make sure the BIOS is set to be PCI as output (but I guess it is when the 710 works).
The 1030 should be in the TOP SLOT of the Motherboard.
Just make sure it's all pushed down correctly, because it is possible it wasn't. Firm but not major force.

You need to - at the Bios - switch your primary display to your PCI device (discrete newly installed graphic card).
page 50 of your motherboard user manual >> http://download.gigabyte.us/FileList/Manual/mb_manual_ga-z77(h77)-d3h(-mvp)_e.pdf

Init Display First
Specifes the frst initiation of the monitor display from the installed PCI graphics card, PCI Express graphics card, or the onboard graphics.
- Auto : Lets BIOS automatically configure this setting. (Default)
- IGFX Sets the onboard graphics as the first display.
- PEG : Sets the PCI Express graphics card on the PCIEX16 slot as the first display.
- PCI :Sets the graphics card on the PCI slot as the first display.

You should be ok with AUTO option, but choosing PEG sometimes makes the difference.

I only see the following likely reasons:

1) card was not fully inserted, or
2) card is DEFECTIVE, or
3) strange conflict (i.e. need CSM enabled in BIOS?)

My best guess is it's DEFECTIVE. I have a GTX1080 in a Z77 (with i7-3770K) and it works fine.

Other than try in a DIFFERENT PC to see if it fails there too I'm not sure what to suggest. Maybe just contact Tech Support (unless you can take back to local store) and see if they recommend RMA.

Other:
1. GT710 at low resolution is likely because you haven't installed the NVidia drivers yet. Or if you just mean the BIOS resolution then it's common to be lower for compatibility.

You can still have high resolution in the BIOS depending on what motherboard you have (not sure if any settings in BIOS affect that either).

2. 2GB of DDR3 memory?

Do you intend to add more? That's pretty low even for just an office type PC. For a basic office PC you want at least 4GB and even for a light gaming rig with a GT1030 I'd go with 8GB (use a 2x4GB 1600MHz+ kit if possible and then don't use the 2GB stick).

3. BEST GPU it supports?
My Z77 board supports all PCIe graphics cards as do most motherboards. Again, I don't think it's a compatibility issue.

I believe there was an OLDER problem where some video cards didn't work on newer UEFI motherboards (around 5-6 years ago) but then they started doing a dual vBIOS so cards could work in UEFI and Legacy setups.

UPDATE:
It's also theoretically possible that the VIDEO CABLE is defective. Even if it works on the GT710 there's no guarantee it's good because that may be borderline functional.

If you have another DVI cable, or even HDMI or DP if the monitor supports it try those if possible.

Hi thank you for the response, i had the GT 1030 installed in my other system and it works fine without any issues. The card was fully inserted properly but was stuck on the gigabyte motherboard logo and got stuck there not being able to enter the bios.

I can enter the bios using onboard graphics. How can i enable CSM in the BIOS? Thanks
