It says your preferences are not set to receive AMD/ATI tasks; http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/prefs.php?subset=project
Make sure you are using the correct location as in (default), Home, School, etc.
Yours says it's using Home, 8/20/2015 12:19:48 PM | SETI@home | Computer location: home

Yes, the 6970 would work better in Win 8.1 as you could use the newer drivers.
I have the 'Newer' 6970 sold at NewEgg recently and it doesn't work very well in XP as it has more recent Firmware than the 2010 original 6970. Yours could be different...

just checked and ati and intel both checked what drivers would i use for win 8.1
do i add anything into environment variables, ty for ur help

It seems to be working now. Just watch it and see how it does before changing anything. Hopefully you won't experience something similar to this, ATI 6970 MultiBeam Crashes Drivers in XP.

In Win 8.1 Catalyst 14.12 would be my choice to run with the 6970.
It appears you have picked up about 99 ghosts by switching card platforms, eventually all those old nVidia Ghosts will timeout...

you can see it working, but it doesnt show any task working, or is that because of the ghost nvida ghost? ty again for ur help i will just let it go and see what happens

Well, once it crashes the driver it won't work until you restart the machine. It would be obvious if it crashes the driver. The screen will flash, go black, then come back claiming the driver crashed but...recovered. Try quitting BOINC, restart the machine, and see if the driver crashes right after BOINC starts.
Is this a New 6970 purchased in the last few months or one of the old ones?

i just got on tuesday, i tryed shutting down and restarting and nothing has happed now it showsrunning one task, so now i can add more task/

it froze, and gigabyte does have drivers for win 8.1, so i sm lost as what to do.

i got the drivers 14.12 are they drivers for everything or just grapgics, i wish i knew more but always used nvida, ty

Well, the Original ATI 6970 was released in Dec 2010. That card would work in the 14 Year old XP. However, what you have appears to be the Re-Released 6970 with Updated Firmware costing a Quarter of the 2010 price. The Old Drivers Know Nothing of this New Firmware. I have a similar card from PowerColor, you do NOT have to use the driver that came from the Vendor. If your card is similar to mine it will work in all other OSes Except XP using drivers from AMD. Mine worked fine in Windows 8.1 with Catalyst 14.12 from AMD. It just put out a little too much heat for my Media Center PC. I'd give it a go in Win 8.1, it should work fine.

Catalyst 14.12 i just downloded them do have all the drivers needed chipset and everything else ? i am gonna be reformatting n try 8.1

Win 8.1 should take care of all the driver needs. Just remember to reboot it after it's finished installing and then install catalyst 14.12.

ok i sure will and tyvm.

i just noticed something if i change preferences to ati n unckeck nvida. all my other pcs have nvida cards.

You can create up to four distinct sets of preferences (known as and identified by 'venues' - default, home, work, and school).

Set up a new one for the ATI machine, copying everything except the card allowed. Then, call up the record for the computer with the ATI card, and switch it to the new venue (drop-down list at the very bottom of the computer details page).

Or you could simply allow both types or cards on all machines. Each copy of BOINC will know not to ask for work for a card type not installed in that machine - though you might get some extra information messages in the log.

ty i just checked them all for now.

I loaded win 8.1 and the 14.12 drivers so far I have had no problems, I just messed up when I reformatted put win 8.1 on harddrive and not ssd, but the part is its working so thank you all for ur help

It looks as though it's using an old version of the MB App;
OpenCL version by Raistmer, r1843
You must have used an old version of the Lunatics installer, the current version 43b will install MB7_win_x86_SSE2_OpenCL_ATi_HD5_r2929.exe. So, you want to download the newer 43b and run the Lunatics installer again;

ok ty dling right now.
