No video after new Video Card

After upgrading an old q6600 pc with a 1050, it fails to display anything and the debug code so 06. In the manual, the code 06 is described as "reserved" and when I look at other code charts it says it has something to do with the graphics. I tested it again with the old card in it and it displayed the same code. I tested both cards on another PC and they both worked. Anything is welcomed. Thanks

Reset the BIOS to default settings and try again. 

I cleared the CMOS but nothing has changed

Do you get a display on your onboard video?

This only lead to the physical slot because you already cleared the CMOS and cannot test the onboard video as well. 

 

Try to clean it, check for dust or anything that could block the contacts.

So I cleaned it out and took out the new RAM I installed... It booted. When I replaced the RAM, it wouldn't boot, I thought maybe one was dead so i removed one- it boots. For some reason four 2gb Dimms wont work. I replaced one with a 1gb dimm and it booted. The motherboard manual says it supports up to 10.5gb of RAM. The error code sticks on 06 while that isn't listed as an actual error code.
