AMD HD 6950 does not work
-
The problem is not the weight as we all have (or most of us) GPUs of similar construction.
Their must be some thing you can do with the cabling, make shore its not pulling down on the PCB or the way its fixed into the box.
Many years ago I had built a PC for a client who were constantly having problems with it blue screening or just locking up. On my work bench I could not replicate the problem.
Cut to the end of the story, it was a “sloppy/loose” DIM sockets for the memory and when people walked around the PC that was sitting on the floor it some times jarred the memory sticks which was causing the problem, , I had to replace the Mobo.
Metal please use a older driver like: Catalyst Version 14.12 AMD Catalyst Omega Software
If needed ill put it on our TS3 for you.

Thank you Sir, it must be then a loose sockets on the pcie slot… well, as the mobo is in a vertical position, the gpu tends to go downwards… I have put a cordon/string tying up the gpu to the chassis of the case… it is working so far, and I did not have any problems since then…
I installed the “12-8_vista_win7_win8_64_dd_ccc.exe” file, it was sent by Chuckes
I will let you know in case this one does not work well…

Regards MetalheadMetalhead in addition to software uninstall also be sure to use a utility like ‘Driver Cleaner’ before trying to install or reinstall new drivers especially if installing a new GPU and definitely if swapping AMD for Nvidia or vice versa.
Running Driver Cleaner ensures removal of all Nvidia or AMD drivers and forces GPU to start in ‘native’ VGA mode then you can install the drivers of your choice. This can avoid reformatting and reinstall of Windows. Make sure to check AMD website again and download recommended drivers. Crimson seems pretty stable now and i am running a 5750 and R9 380 in same machine on Crimson. I too had problems after using ‘Gaming Evolved’ so i did a Driver Cleaner uninstall and reinstalled without. Incorrect drivers can cause all kinds of weird little problems. -
Thankyou Jetlag, I will look for it.
Today it is running smoth, and I am doing all that painful instalation of updates and softwares, but till now, it is all ok.
In some minutes I will install falcon if everything is ok
