So i recently bought a new graphics card and my pc won't recognise the video card in device manager, in my BIOS as well.
Nothing happens when I install the drivers as well, my video card is still dead.

My pc specs:
windows 7 ultimate;
8 GB RAM;
H81M-K motherboard;
i5-4440 3.10 Ghz;
Psu has 500W
I read on a thread from thsi site that my mottherboard would support the 1050ti with no problem.
I would highly appreciate any help that I could get.

It's not going to "pop". The graphic card requires more than the 75 watts the motherboard PCI-Ex16 slot will provide. Therefore, the card needs the extra power directly from the power supply via a 6-Pin PCIE power connector. If your power supply does not have one of these, then I would recommend that you replace it with a quality power supply that does because your current power supply is not designed to handle a graphics card with it's power requirements. I am firmly against adapters in this regard because if it fails, you lose your power supply, your graphics card, and maybe your motherboard as well; plus you have no grounds to stand on if trying to claim anything on warranty.

Either swap out your power supply for a newer, quality...

If you just bought it and your power and gpu connections are correct, Please send it back for a replacement. ( Do you have your old gpu?.....put that back in and make sure your slot is not damaged and wait for your new card to arrive.

There's no such thing as incompatible with a gpu. I've used the 1050ti with a second gen i5.

What do you mean by you're afraid your motherboard will "pop"? I don't understand.
Does your 1050ti require power pins?
If so, do you have them on your psu?
If so, did you properly connect them?

As I said earlier return your Gpu and get a replacement if you just bought it

It does have 6 power pins, mypoer source has a lot of empty power plugs but none of them match teh 6 power pisn that the 1050 ti has, I guess I need to buy an adapotr right?
By "motherboard might pop" I mean that it would be too much for it to handle and it might just stop working

Either swap out your power supply for a newer, quality unit, or return your graphics card for a model of GTX 1050Ti that does not require additional power from the power supply.
