Do you have the combination of the Hp compaq 8200 elite computer with a GTX1050 and 8 gb ram and 500gb hard drive fully operational? What is the power supply? The GTX 1050 is a 75W card. It requires no added power.
Please run this program and report back the Boot Environment. It is very important.
The 8200 series has a 6 pin and 4 pin plugs for power. Such a system could not support the GTX 1060, as it requires the standard 6pin PCIE power lead from a standard ATX powerr supply. The original PSU found in t he 8000-8300 computers does not qualify. It does not have the required plugs, nor the amperage to support the GTX 1060.
