Did you add a proper power supply? Or are you using adapter cables?

Are you able to enter the BIOS when you see the initial post screen?

what model exactly? also try the old psu abd the 1050 and check if you can boot, also try booting with the igpu with the card slotted and check if it's detected.

i used the 1050 since 2018 with the old PSU all worked fine, i upgraded to the EVGA psu this year and still worked fine

what psu specifically? 

also you could plug the gpu and try booting with the igpu and check if the card is detected. 

you could also try clearing the cmos.

i already cleared the CMOS it did the same thing, it wouldnt let me boot with gpu installed and using IGPU

highly unlikely the reason, but if the card works just fine in other systems, you could try updating the bios if an update is available. 

but if that didn't help, some oem's do have proprietary firmware and do not work with certain gpu's. 

again, highly unlikely the reason, but it is possible.
