Check Signal Cable (GTX1050ti)

[Michael Angelo_1]

Hi!

GPU: GTX1050ti
CPU: i56500
MOBO: MSI H110M Pro VD Plus
PSU: Seasonic 620w
Monitor: FlatronW1643S
RAM: G.Skill 2x4 8GB
Deepcool Fan Hub
2x Corsair AF120
2x Deepcool Ice Blade


So a month ago my old gpu HD7850 died on me so I recently just got to buy a Palit GTX1050ti. I deleted the old files using DDU and I bought a VGA to HDMI cable for the GPU. I also bought a VGA to 24+1 DVI adapter and I still get check signal cable. I made sure to screw it so it wasn't a problem with plugging it in correctly.

When I plugin my GPU to the MOBO I get check signal cable from my monitor but when I remove it and just plug it to my motherboard I have no problems.

When GPU is plugged, in the fan works but I'm just getting check signal cable from monitor. I also have uninstalled the integrated graphics so I have no display drivers as of the moment.

I have removed CMOS battery waited for around 10 minutes and placed it back in.

Also, I checked the monitor's settings if there's a switch input to HDMI but there's none. Checked BIOS if I can make PCIE prority over integrated graphics there's none too. Please let me know what else I can do because I want to make sure I did everything before I bring it back to the shop.

Thank you!

Which cable did you buy specifically?

The newer cards do not support Analog (VGA) signals natively and, any connection to VGA requires an "active" adapter to convert the digital signal to analog.

If that cable is what I need I'll buy it first then I'll let you know if it works but thanks really I have been working on it for 3 days after work and had no success.

Yeah, that adapter needs to be connected to DVI-I (both analog and digital signals), which older cards had, but the 1050TI does not.

That HDMI to VGA likely won't work either. You 're highly unlikely to get just a single 'cable', it's going to need to be an adapter like the one I linked earlier by StarTech.
