I have had installed this BIOS version (https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N105TWF2OC-4GD#support-dl-bios) on my 1050 ti, and when i restarted, it did not powerup (only the lights).
When i press the button the fans go at maximum speed, but only for a few seconds then they go slower.
I think that if i instal this BIOS (https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/190061/gigabyte-gtx1050ti-4096-161223-1) wich is a diferent one, it will power up.
Am I correct?
HELPPPPP
THank you for your atencion.

Welcome, did you flash the first bios you listed onto your card or did it come with it? If that bios was shipped on your card my first word of advice would be to contact gigabyte.


If you flashed it, I believe that you need a second card to get display out on and then use nvflash to flash the bios onto your 1050ti like you did before.

There is a warning on the bios page regarding what bios files you can flash from what series.

F1, it can only be updated with VBIOS versions F2-F9.
F10, it can only be updated with VBIOS versions F11-F19.
F20, it can only be updated with VBIOS versions F21-F29.

maybe you have tried to flash the wrong bios

"I have had installed this BIOS version (https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N105TWF2OC-4GD#support-dl-bios) on my 1050 ti, and when i restarted, it did not powerup "

So you've flashed the BIOS with a new official one and it doesn't boot after that? You should open a ticket with their support they might be of help. Just explain them clearly what happenned. Gigabyte isn't the best support ever but if it's still under warranty, you gotta try at least. But as therealmeep said earlier, if you want to try something yourself, you'll need a second video card to be able to see something and do something.

EDIT;
Ripcord might have found the issue.

He sounds like he had that bios on it that he did not touch and that the card has just broken. If this is the case your best bet is to open a ticket with gigabyte about it and hope the rma gods like you.

If You Flashed the Bios with Authorization from Gigabyte and it has failed or has further Problems then Contact Gigabyte for advice/RMA

Oh okay!

If it's still in warranty, open a ticket with their support mate. If you flash the BIOS and kill it even more, they won't accept the RMA.

you were right, +10 points gryffindor

You could start by telling us what you did instead of trying to tell us you did and didn't flash the BIOS. :confused:

You should try & explain what you did properly , make a 5 point list of things you last did with the 1050ti. You can include any steps you took to troubleshoot the problem.

So this are the steps:
1- I download this (https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N105TWF2OC-4GD#support-dl-bios).
2- I opened it and it was like a INSTALER.
3- Then it said that i have to restart the PC.
4- And when it power up the screen was black(no BIOS, no Windows, no nothing).

So you flashed your bios. you likely did something incorrectly , human error is the case almost every time in situations like this ,and now it doesn't work. As long as the manufacturer supports flashing the bios ,and you used the software they approve of ,and the files they approve of ,then they may work with you and allow an rma, but I do know they don't cover human error, so you may be required to pay if they find something wrong.

If you know you did everything by their rules, I would suggest that you stop, don't try to fix anything yourself, and send the video card to the manufacturer. If they support flashing of their bios ,and it was their files and you followed their rules, they might approve the RMA . But the second you try recovering it, if you use something they don't approve of and they find out ,you're throwing your warranty out the window

If there's no possibility of warranty, then MoveOn with repairing yourself if possible

Looks like you flashed the wrong BIOS or as jbody said something went wrong during the process. Try to get in contact with them & see what happens, also post you GPU pics here for confirmation.

Note the fine print under your link
Warning:
Because BIOS flashing is potentially risky, if you do not encounter problems using the current version of BIOS, it is recommended that you not flash the BIOS. To flash the BIOS, do it with caution. Inadequate BIOS flashing may result in system malfunction.


Did you encounter problems with the stock BIOS before flashing?

Errors, can you elaborate? Any card at max load is liable to produce FPS drops, for example.

OK. So if the card was producing artifacts, you should contact Gigabyte support regardless. I would not recommend another flash and fiddling with the card too much. Reason: if you get a card with a bios that produces artifacts, that alone is reason for RMA. It should work correctly out of the box.

If you are unsure what artifacts look like, here's a google search to skim through.

You can also refine the search to the specific games you had artifacts in, and see if others have similar and whether patches for the game fixed it. To rule out it was the game. This information will help you when contacting support.
