gtx 1050 wont work with A58 Asrock chipset????

[ExtenZe]

Hello guys
Last year i sold my previous pc to a friend of mine. The pc had an AMD A8 7600 APU , 8gb of ddr3 ram hyperx , and the Asrock FM2A58M-VG3+ R2.0 motherboard with the a58 chipset as the name suggests.

My friend managed to save up and get a KFA gtx 1050 2gb , when we connected the gpu to the pc the pc wouldnt even reach the bios screen, there was no signal displayed , the pc would spin its fans (including the gpu fan) and then it would shut down and attempt to boot again with the same results. At first I though it was either the gpu or the PSU ( a 80+ 500watt silverstone one ) , we checked the PSU to a technician and it was ok , the technician also checked the gpu to another pc and it would work fine. Then we though that the pci slot was somehow damaged , we checked another card to the slot and it worked fine ( dont remember what card it was , but i guess it was older than the Pascal architecture ) the 1050 also uses the power from the pcie slot (75watts for the 1050, my gtx 750 worked fine with the same mobo where it draw 60watts ).

The technician says the GPU isnt compatible with the motherboard. I found that very strange cause Ive heard of such problem only on older PCs. I noticed that there isnt a bios update for the motherborad after the release of the Pascal Gpu architecture so could that be the problem?

Im really confused and the technician suggested we buy another motherboard.

Will the problem if that is the problem be solved with a newer motherboard of the same a58 chipset? ( although i mostly find A68 chipset boards for the FM2+ socket now in shops i dont know if there will be any difference but better go with the newer chipset..)

 

Thanks for any help

i know theoritically it should work , the technician said that it should work and the only solution he can think of is to buy another brand motherboard.

From what i gathered there is an APU installed.. did you turn of the APU in bios prior to installing the 1050 ? that could be done

Boot to the computer without the GPU installed than uninstall all of the graphics drivers then reinstall the GPU

If I remember correctly I believe we tried that, I certainly remember that the primary graphics processing unit was set to PCIE in the bios and we had the APU gpu set to auto , so it should select the external gpu , the problem is wouldnt the pc outpout signal from tue APU if we turned it on that way? Because we tried checking both the APU and the GTX 1050 and there was no signal , in fact the computer wont even display the boot screen its just a black screen..

From what i gathered here is that you wont get picture from either the APU or the GPU, do you get a picture without the gpu installed ? if thats the case there is something wrong with your "new" gpu tbh , it sucks i know

i get picture with the APU graphics only when the new gpu is not installed , when the gpu is installed the pc wont even boot in the bios screen it will shut of and restart. The new GPU works perfectly on another computer , its very strange...

So in bios, can you turn of Apu/igpu and set to only use Pci-e gpu also you using the DVI or Hdmi ? if hdmi use the 1st hdmi port , if dvi and no picture im at a loss tbh
