PC won't boot with new graphics card

[Aka Ro]

Hello! I have a build with i3 3220, ms 7728 ver 2 and GTX 1050 (and other). When I power on without gpu it is fine (just that it power on from two times by pressing the power) but when I try to power with the gpu it won't show the screen (and I hear 1 long beep and 2 short beep)... Could I install new bios drivere? Should you give me a link with some drivers? What should I do?

What kind of PSU do you use? Is this a new build for you, maybe with used parts?

1 long and 2 short beeps is video error. Meaning the bios is not able to initialise your GPU properly. Re-seat the GPU and make sure you have connected any PCIe power connectors to the GPU.

I have an VS 350... I think about that GPU isn't the problem cuz' I've put it in my own PC and it works

That CPU has an inbuilt GPU Intel® HD Graphics 2500.
If you remove the GTX 1050, does it work with the onchip GPU?

Next would be to update BIOS to latest version for MS-7728.

If it POSTs, then go into BIOS and check how the Graphics card are configured and POST.
Eg. make the discrete card primary, shut down, insert the GTX 1050, try again.

1050s require a motherboard with a UEFI bios to work. Some vendors of 1050s do however include a LEGACY BIOS on their cards so that it works with older machines like yours. Ive read that Asus ships some of their 1050s with legacy bioses installed but i dont know if they still do or which other vendor do the same.

I think for you it will be a dead end unless you buy a more modern low end setup to work with the 1050. Alternatively just sell the 1050 and get an older GPU like a 500, 600 or 700 series nvidia card. Providing you get a good one. Those will blow that 1050 away. But those cards eat more power than the 1050 so you might require a power supply upgrade also...

A quick peek on net seem some of the MS-7728 do support UEFI. But yes, could be if it is an OEM board like Medion etc. then UEFI support is perhaps not included.
Should be possible to see in BIOS, or during POST screen with the onboard GPU.

Bios update is from 6/20/2012... I don't know If it is the lastest bios version

The same problem with gtx 750

This may seem obvious but it is not uncommon to overlook the obvious. When you install the card, did you move the video cable to the monitor to the card's video out port?

GTX 1050 (and other)

What does "and other" mean?

I have an VS 350...

While "technically" a 350W PSU "should" be big enough for the GTX 1050, that assumes it is in good working condition. But we don't know if 350W is big enough for those "and other" cards.

Regardless, I would swap in a different, known good, preferably bigger, "quality" PSU to see what happens. I say "quality" because the VS series Corsair PSUs are entry level, not known for being of high quality.

I saw ref. to a MS-7728 with date 2012-Nov-01, if read correct.
