Desktop build featuring Intel components
You’ve got a 1050 Ti in your Intel desktop board 21B6E1, but it’s taking 15 minutes to boot and only beeps every 30 seconds. First, check the power connections and ensure the GPU is properly seated. Then, try resetting the system or clearing temporary files. If the issue persists, disable GPU fans temporarily and see if the boot time improves. If it still doesn’t work, consider checking for overheating or BIOS updates.
Checked the board documentation. The only reference I found was a 21 b6 e1 e2 layout, which seems to be an older design meant for 32-bit processors and Windows 7. The 1050ti is a fairly outdated model, but it probably isn’t that old. This might point to a power supply issue since the card relies on the motherboard for power. It could also mean the driver wasn’t built for such an old system and is malfunctioning.
The main issue seems to be that your board probably doesn’t support UEFI, and all the 1050TIs I’ve seen need UEFI-compatible boards. The best fix is to upgrade to a newer board or switch to an older GPU. Source: Experienced with similar problems on older systems using multiple Intel boards.
Many 1050 Ti systems don't need UEFI support. This isn't the correct model code. Intel provides a reference for recognizing their boards. If your machine starts up, you can check with CPU-Z at the provided link.
