GPU is installed but PC won't boot and motherboard doesn't detect it

davidchen804 · May 27, 2018

Hi, I brought a GTX 1050 2gb Windforce a couple days back and upon installing it on the motherboard, the led signals that the GPU is not detected and it won't boot up to bios. The HDMI cable is plugged in but I don't get why it doesn't work.

System Specs
MSI B250 PRO-VDH
Intel Pentium G4560
EVGA 400W
Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1050 2 gb Windforce
1 x 8GB Ballistix Sport RAM

Did you connected 6x pin power cable to your GPU ?

davidchen804 · May 27, 2018

It doesn't have one and additionally, the card is receiving power but it doesn't boot up. It boots up normally without the GPU.

As far as i can see on the web then it surely does have a 6x pin slot for power connector.

This card doesn't need one it runs off of motherboard power

Maybe some models dont need those but i guess that they are there for a reason.
Here you have a screenshot from your GPU manual:

I tried the card on two other motherboards as well but it didn't work

davidchen804 · May 27, 2018

It might be the bios version or motherboard compatibility but I'm not sure which mobo is compatible with the G4560 with ddr4-2400 ram. I tried looking up other posts of this problem, it didn't seem to resolve my issue.

Make sure your PCI-E is clean. Reset CMOS. Do you have a possibility to check this GPU in other PC ?

davidchen804 :

That should indicate to you that it needs a power connector. The manual says you need one.

davidchen804 · May 27, 2018

The card doesnt need one though?

gdmaclew · May 27, 2018

davidchen804 :

Yes it does.

davidchen804 · May 27, 2018

I brought it from here check the pictures:

Read the first paragraph.

Does your card have a 6-pin power connector on the top of the card?

gdmaclew :

He posted wrong GPU in his specs.
His GPU number is GV-N1050OC-2GD OC and it doesnt have power pins

davidchen804 · May 27, 2018

It does look as if it does need a external power plug but its not there, Im serious. Do you suggest me get a card that actually has one?

davidchen804 · May 28, 2018

I brought a new card and it worked, I will decide on a best answer later on in the week.
