zotac geforce gtx 1050 ti Error posting or displaying properly while using any OS.

As I may have been thinking with my new in the box Zotac GeForce GTX 1050 TI OC Edition, I may have a CPU that doesn't support this specific Graphical unit.

From my tests and observations: I've attempted numerous "startup's" via this GPU and I never get a single post. So, what I did was I used the integrated graphics located on my ASUS B250 MINING EXPERT (as I use this for gaming - lol) and I was able to get a successful post! Immediately after, I decided to go to my Device Manager to see what was the issue. It somewhat said that it wasn't getting a full communication with the device, as the GPU doesn't have an external PSU port and runs straight from PCI-E Gen3.0. I was for sure that I, too, supplied the entire system with fluid electricity, because I was able to get a boot with the same GPU inserted via PCI-E, and in the Mini PCI-E ports (with riser) located on the board. I then disabled the Intel integrated graphics and transferred my Standard HDMI cable into the GPU, and it was able to get a display through, except it was cursed (as shown below).

Before I go out and buy a new CPU for my unit, are there any other ideas to get my system up and running with a clean output on my monitor(s)? I've basically tried everything under the sun, and nothing is working out. Thanks for your response!! ^^
