I installed my new 4870 today, booted up my pc and the fans went nuts like full throttle for a few seconds then went away. It's not outputting to any monitor i hook it up to. Everything goes straight to no signal. Maybe the 4870's don't work with a dvi-vga adapter, but i hooked it up via hdmi with the same result. 3 red lights come on briefly on the pcb before turning off and the fans spin up really fast. What could be the issue? Reset my cmos maybe? I don't even see a cmos battery or jumpers on this board... |

1.Plug in the power connectors for the card. 2. Reseat card 3. Check PSU maybe it does suck and you are not getting enough power. 3 LEDs coming on is normal as a post. Check this link for Diagnostics on the LEDs. http://forums.amd.com/game/messageview.cfm?catid=260&threadid=97885 Also Another one for 4870x2 which this one has derived from. http://www.vgaforum.com/showthread.php?t=20492 B |

It was probably the PCI-E clock at fault, Ati cards really don't seem to like that being OC'd in the slightest. |
