You might need a more powerful processor to run that card. From the spec sheet--
Recommendation is made based on PC configured with an Intel Core i7 3.2 GHz processor
I doubt your 9 yr old 260 can handle such a powerful card. From beep code page-
1 beep means this--
Try removing the card and reinstalling the original card.

The power supply is too small AND the video card requires UEFI bios that you do not have.

It will work, but you have to enable multiple displays in the BIOS and keep a monitor plugged into one of the motherboard video ports (either VGA or HDMI). This allows the machine to boot. Once Windows starts, it'll recognize the 2060 and allow you to use it. If you only have one monitor, you can boot the machine with the monitor plugged into the motherboard video and then move it over to the 2060 once you are in Windows.
