New 1050 ti no display output

[Ethan2163]

My friend recent 'upgraded' (replaced nearly everything) his computer with a budget ryzen system and worked fine with his current gpu

 

Specs:

R3 1200

ASUS Prime B350M-A

8GB DDR4-2400

Corsair VS650

Some old 500GB Hard Drive (not worth the effort finding info)

Windows 10 and all that jazz

Everything brand new except for hard drive and case

 

He used the PC for about a month just fine with his old gpu before getting a new gpu.

Upon buying and receiving a new gpu: MSI GTX 1050TI (that one super low profile one). He uninstalled previous drivers of his R7 240 (yes, that bad) and installed his new one.

His monitor didn't support hdmi, only vga and dvi so he bought himself a dvi cable and plugged everything in. He assured me several times that everything is installed correctly but the monitor receives no signal.

Strangely, switching back to his R7 240 with the DVI cable, no signal again. He switched back to the VGA cable and everything worked again, reinstalled drivers and the DVI then worked on the 240.  

 

Checked the monitor- everything looked fine

Reset the bios- nothing changed

Tried reseating everything about 1000 times (including the card itself)- no change

Moved the ram to the 'correct' slot (it was working on the other gpu so cant imagine why it would work)- no change

No the GPU doesn't have additional PCIE power

GPU fans do spin and PC powers on but no signal to display

No speaker installed so cant tell for bios error chimes but I would assume it work say no gpu

Pressing delete upon booting even with no signal might be getting to bios due to powering off being instant rather than a few moments like when in windows though I cannot confirm this.

Checked bios settings with other gpu installed and nothing looked out of the ordinary

The GPU is brand new from Amazon, not refurbished or used

Tried HDMI output on a TV and the TV detected something connected but still had no signal.

Before you even ask, yes it's plugged into the gpu not the motherboard.

Updated bios both automatically and manually both with newest revisions

Probably not cpu pin debris, thermal paste was preinstalled on heat sync though did not specifically check

Eventually will check the gpu in a different system, likely intel based so it can at least boot with IGPU.

Once again, the 1050 ti doesnt even show the bios, even without drivers the card can AT LEAST manage that though it cannot for whatever reason. 

To clarify, the system worked without any hitch for over a month with the r7 240 installed and still works with that GPU.

 

I'm lost on this one, maybe some of you have better knowledge than myself.

Have you checked by using another computer monitor?

I mentioned trying it on a TV, another monitor isn't at hand. The functionality should be equivalent.

Should be, but TVs have strange features when it comes to things like resolution. Technically possible it wouldn't have worked without the drivers.

Possible but I doubt it. The TV should have 'some' output. No boot logo, nothing.

Haven't used an HDMI to VGA adapter have you?

No, the TV was connected directly HDMI to HDMI. No adapters were ever used in any testing.

Worth a shot in the VGA monitor

Maybe, but delivering to Italy even with the native amazon isn't exactly a fast thing. He's gonna take it to a local shop and use one of their testing PCs and see if it works there. Even if it does work, that doesn't really help him.

Seems to be a lot of people having problems with 1050Tis on this site lately.

I’ve notice that across all tech forums but none have a real solution other than the usual troubleshooting techniques and as you see, I’ve tried them all. [Insert rant about planned obsolescence here]
