@LOCKED,

What is the exact model number of this old machine?  The BIOS is 2009, and that means a Legacy BIOS.   The GTX 1050 Ti is a UEFI vBIOS card, and is not compatible.  Before you ask,  you can do the research yourself, just google any card and add release date.  Any card after Aug 2012 would be suspect as being UEFI.   Example.
