I added the Msi GTX 1050 to the Pc, and after that when I turn it on It starts beeping and theres no display. I tried unplug the card and turn on the computer, which showed the windows logo for a few seconds but it shuts off.
Solved! Go to Solution.

You need to use the BIOS "mod" that allows newer graphic cards to work.

My 3400 motherboard was the Cupertino2
If you have the Cupertino2 the bios upgrade will work.
Note that updating bios can be dangerous.
The 3400 can accept 8gb sticks for total of 16gb. There are la few other older high performance graphics boards that can work with the original bios. Many of these older boards require 550 watt or better power supply: s9000, s9050, hd7950
