So I am now really frustrated with this problem.
I have a GTX 1050 OC 2GB graphics card, brought in 2017. Worked fine for a year or something and suddenly PC stopped working. After some checks I figured it was the GPU. And tested it in another system. And to my surprise it worked. So GPU was not the culprit. So I inserted another GPU(Some old Radeon) into my PC and with that old GPU the system booted!! So it's not my PC also. It's been a year and I am really not able to solve this, went to the service centre and they refused to take the GPU since it was working. I have tried all possible things, replacing PSU, clean windows install, bios update, etc.

What specifically happens when you try booting with the 1050 installed? Do the fans spin up? Does anything get output to the display?

 

Are you plugging the monitor into the 1050 rather than the motherboard?

 

Do you have another PCIe slot you can try it in?

 

Perhaps it's a defect with your motherboard? Maybe it's not able to provide enough power to the PCIe slot for the card to function.

The fans spins and monitor shows no display. I am plugging the monitor to the GPU only with bios settings changed to initial display as PCIE. I don't have another PCIe slot.

How to check if motherboard is defected?

I can't think of much other than to get another 1050 and see if that works in there or not.

 

Seeing how it works fine in another board, I'd think your current 1050 is perfectly fine.

 

What model was the "old radeon" card that you tried that was working? Your 1050 sits at roughly 75W TDP. I think the radeon card you tested is a fair amount below that.

I don't really know the model of "old Radeon". It was not mine.
