if its not a driver thing then theres a good chance the card is garbage. its very rare for something like this to happen. I think if it was the psu it would still show up in windows but would function shitty

i have a similar board to yours, the only difference i think is that mine has only one pci-e slot.....ive used nvidia cards and just a couple of days ago i got an xfx6870 and it worked fine for me....now i have the 6950 modded....found out in time to rma the 6870 :D....i hope you figure it out, i know its frustrating when you dont know whats going on and just want it to work....good luck!!! if you do decide to get a new psu, this one i have is a bit old but sure it has gone thru a lot and handled everything ive put on it....next time i get a psu im going corsair again!! cheers

I bought another 6870 and still a no go. Very frustrating:(
