Hiya, I have a HP Z230, Ive tried swapping out my k2000 card for a 1050ti and my monitor is getting no signal.
I've bough 2 of the same card thinking the first was faulty but I get the same result so its almost certainly the motherboard / bios.
I have the latest bios firmware according to HP.
Is there anything I can do? Please help!

Hi:
For the purpose of experimentation, go into the BIOS and disable the secure boot setting and see if the card works that way.
Sometimes the secure boot function will prevent a PC from working if a video card was installed that was not included as optional equipment in the model series.
If it works with secure boot disabled, see if you can enable secure boot again with the card installed and have it continue to work.

I'm surprised it didn't work.
I can't find any slot wattage specs for the PC.
I could only find detailed specs for the SFF but no slot wattage.
DA - 14630 - Division (bhphotovideo.com)
I have a HP 8200 Elite CMT and the PCIe x16 slot is rated for up to 75W.
The SFF model of the 8200 Elite's PCIe x16 slot is rated for up to 35W, but I know for a fact the folks have installed 1050ti's in the SFF with no problem.
The SFF's come with 240W power supplies.
