Hi, I hope you can help me with this topic.
I have this motherboard since 11 years, over the years I have been upgrading the system. The initial specs were AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ with 2 GB RAM DDR2 667 Mhz, DD Seagate 500 GB and a graphics card EVGA GeForce 7950 GT KO 512 MB. PSU 550 W. A few years later updated the BIOS to 5005, the last for this MOBO, actually the system have a AMD Phenom II X4 945 with 8 GB RAM DDR2 800 MHz, 1 SSD Samsung EVO 850 512 GB, 3 HDD Seagate 500 GB (the first HDD) Seagate 1 TB and Seagate 4 TB, 1 DVD Burner and 1 BD burner. The PSU is the same. The video card damaged so I have been working with onboard graphics Geforce 6150. I decided to buy a new video card, based in some builds posted in a site userbenchmark.com (https://www.userbenchmark.com/System/Asus-M2NPV-VM/838) and a few people installed even a GTX 1060 or a 1050 ti, apparently successfully, although the mobo has PCI-E 1.X and the cards are PCIE 3.0. I bought a EVGA 1050 ti SC gaming (this card don't require extra energy) today arrived the card and i proceed to install it, but the PC didn't boot. I have been reading maybe the card require UEFI BIOS but the motherboard only have the old BIOS (legacy). Simply the PC get stucked in a blank screen and don't post. Any ideas to make the system boot? By the way, the idea is not upgrade the mobo, unless there is no other choice. Thanks in advance and sorry for my english.
