sorry for the grammar. english is not my primary language.

i had a newly bought motherboard (MSI H81M-P33), Radeon r5 235 2GB and Palit GTX 950 2GB. everything works fine except for the GTX 950, i have both tried to insert the GPU, but only the GTX is not working. when i put in my mobo + 6pins connector, the fan is spinning but didn't recognize in bios. not just like the Radeon that can be detected in bios

i already tried to update bios, disable the onboard graphics and still no luck on gtx 950

com specs
i5-4460
msi h81m-p33
corsair 450w
radeon r5 235 and gtx 950

Right. In that case, with the GTX 950 installed (seated correctly and all power cables attached where necessary), does the BIOS screen show up on the monitor? I ask because you don't mention it and state that BIOS does't recognise it.

If the BIOS screen can be seen but picture is lost when Windows boots up (I assume Windows), then it's likely to be a driver issue. If so you'd need to enter Windows safe mode and install drivers that way.

If there is no BIOS screen shown, then it seems likely the graphics card is faulty. (Ideally, try to install the GTX 950 on another PC to verify but not everybody can.)


sorry for the confusion. i only inserted a gpu one at a time. my old gpu is radeon r5 and i'm planning to upgrade it to gtx 950 but the gpu seems won't recognize in my newly bought motherboard
