zotac 1050 ti not displaying video

[bagals]

So I got a Zotac 1050 ti and it didn't display anything. I exchanged it and no luck. I brought it back to the store and it worked there. I have a 430w power supply and I can't display anything. Is this a PSU problem? I have used a Zotac 210 and that worked, but I have no integrated graphics. What can I do?

did you install the drivers for the zotac card before you installed it? since you dont have onboard to use after its in place?

I cannot install the driver without the card installed in the pci slot

I wish. Would make this much easier.

use the Zotac 210 in the slower slot to work on the 1050ti.

you would do it through the manufacturer of your motherboard or the builder of your pcs website its a heart attack  inducing thing to do you would knnow it gives you the message any power disruption will more or less brick your pc during this

im pretty sure its up to date anyway. The installer got farther than usual. It succeeded system check and failed on installation but drivers were updated on windows.

[jonrosalia]

windows updates arent bios updates you have to manually do them it could be the reason it dosent work most people are still running whatever bios the motherboard came with.

some times its just something that simple a software incompatibility your not seeing let us know if a update fixes it i know the ryzen people have to do this all the time to fix things that aren't compatible or not running in spec.

I checked what my bios date was. It was only two months ago! So it was up to date.
