HP Pavilion p6-2180ea
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I bought a new graphics card, but the motherboard is beeping, motherboard is PCIe 2.0 capable:

As per mentioned below, the 2ABF 1.30 motherboard hosts Intel i5-core.

http://www.findlaptopdriver.com/specs-foxconn-2abf-motherboard-7252011h48/

Given below are my specs:

Hewlett-Packard p6-2180ea 
[serial number removed]
Enclosure Type: Desktop

 

Board: Foxconn 2ABF 1.30
Bus Clock: 100 megahertz
BIOS: AMI 7.16 03/23/2012

 

Graphics Card is MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Gaming X, which is PCIe 3.0 dual width x16 interface. What could be the error here?

Beeping sound:

- Additional Power? (PSU), I have one that's not working

- Motherboard and Graphics Card compatibility, not sure after the issue

- Graphics Card problem, I don't think so because it is running its fan under power, I disable the PCIe x16 slot in the BIOS, the computer is booting successfully.

 

Any suggestions for alternative graphics card, or any suggestions for improvement?

@user_niwas123,

What we have here is a simple failure to communicate caused by the computer versus the graphic card.

Your computer is circa April 2012, and likley has BIOS boot environment.  Test with this program.

The GTX1050Ti is a UEFIvBIOS card, and will not work  if your computer tests as "BIOS".

If you were successful in disabling the PCIE x 16 slot, the onboard (motherboard) graphics would boot, but you could only have seen that with cable attached to the motheboard video port, not the card.
