GT 1030 does not work

[LithPanchii]

So i ordered a GT 1030 and got it this morning, I put it in, used DDU to get rid of AMD drivers and installed nVidia drivers. So the drivers installed from GeForce experience and i rebooted my PC. I didnt get option for nvidia control panel when right clicking the desktop, msi afterburner doesnt recognize card and geforce experience just says error 0x003 and to restart the computer. I went in device manager, i get error 35
Your computer's system firmware does not include enough information to properly configure and use this device.  To use this device, contact your computer manufacturer to obtain a firmware or BIOS update. (Code 35)
My bios is up to date, altho i am using a very old computer(not as old as some people have with this GPU)
CPU: C2Q q8400 @ 2.66ghz
Motherboard: Fujitsu D2824-A1
RAM: 6gb 800mhz from random vendors but it works fine with old gpu
PC: Fujitsu Esprimo E5730

Is there naything i can do to get the card to work, i just spent 75 eur on it and i dont have money left and my parents would be pretty upset if i told them it doesnt work, thanks

From the sound of it, no. I suppose you could try installing Linux and seeing if it works there and, if it does, reinstalling Windows and seeing if it works then, but if it doesn't work under Linux, either, then I really doubt there's anything to be done other than upgrading your PC.

Get rid of the GeForce Experience garbage and reinstall the latest driver (from the Nvidia website) without GeForce Experience.

 

GFE isn't worth the half assed install. Shadow Play is rather good though.

Did you test Linux? Or did you try reinstalling Windows from scratch?

[LithPanchii]

i cant as i have no access to a USB and the nearest store that would have them is 15 kilometers away and i am under 18

dude you're overthinking this way too much, your pc should be able to handle your graphics card, just don't panic and try to look into the possible solutions.

Do you not have a cd or an sd card for linux since you don't have an USB? They should work too

[Epimetheus]

Also i think you need to update the bios of your motherboard, maybe it detects it as up to date but maybe it's not

[LithPanchii]

Im gonna get a USB soon. I just flashed the latest bios i could find (from 2009) using DeskFlash and im gonna test the card tomorrow since I put it in my dads old rig and hes playing games atm, works fine on his PC, even tho is a Dell prebuilt from around the same age (dc7900), i will let you know if the new bios helped in the next 24hrs

I've got to ask...have you tried updating your BIOS?

[LithPanchii]

[LithPanchii]
