My new video card not working

Hello,

I just recently got in my ati 7870 2g myst edition(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131484) When I installed the video card nothing would come on. So when i did a little digging it seemed that the card would not post. My comp spec are at the bottom, but from what i was reading the bios A06 is not compatible with this video card. It needs a more updated BIOS. My question was if there was a way around this. I really dont want to return the card. But I didnt see any solutions to this problem. So this is my last ditch effort.

Thank you for any help

Are you using Power Supply connectors P14 and P16 (one from each wire color set) ?

I tried using a combination of all the connectors. I have a 460gtx currently and it uses 2 6 pin connectors. I have never had problems with them
