You need to give a lot more information than that
Download CPUz
then take screen shots showing your cpu/motherboard etc
or write it down and paste it

Update the BIOS to the latest version and see if it helps.

Might have to enable GPU in BIOS as well

Where did you install the GPU ? That motherboard is only having one half-length, full-height, PCI Express x16 SLOT. Though, on some other website, I found these specs:

1 (total) / 0 (free) x CPU
1 (total) / 1 (free) x PCIe 2.0 x16 - low-profile
1 (total) / 1 (free) x PCI - low-profile

From google - The AMD Radeon HD 6950 requires a 500W or greater power supply with two 75W 6-pin PCIe connectors.

Do you have a PSU that can do this?

My psu is 600w with one 6-pin and 2x4pin male to pci express (had to connect that way because of single 6pin)

It has 1 PCI express x16 slot as required for this gpu

If your GPU requires more than a single 6pin, then you need a different PSU. Your current PSU only has support for single 6pin graphics.

I used this
https://www.aquatuning.us/cables/ot...aptor-2x4-pin-molex-6pol-for-pcie-pci-express
My radeon R4870 is working with that

PCIe is not 2x4 pin, it never has been AFAIK.
You need what it says it needs.

This PSU is very low standard in comparison to todays.

Also according to the photos of that PSU, its rated at 288W @ 12v and 96W @ 3.3/5v = that doesn't add up to 600 watts.

Could be an issue with the Molex adapter.
Could also be a BIOS issue. Have you done as I said and made sure it's updated to the latest version?

So it cant be connected with pci-e power adapter.
My Radeon R4870 is doing just fine with one 6pin pci-e and 2x4 male to 6 pci-e adapter

Those mfs sold me that telling me that it can power the gpu with two 6pin. Thanks anyway.
I might return it and try to get another with a little supplement of mine.

How can I check if its updated to newest version

 

[QwerkyPengwen]

Go to the driver and support page for the PC you have and look at the version number, then go into the BIOS and look at the version number there and see if they match
