Hi, well over the past couple of restarts, shutdowns and startup's I have noticed a Red LED on the 2900XT that flicks on for a split second, what is the purpose of this LED and should it flick on and off like that?
 
If you try and powere on the card without any additional power leads plugged in, you will see that LED stay on. I therefore assumed it was an error LED.

There are actually two, one near the top edge of the card, and one near the tail end of the PCIe slot, inbetween two thin strips of the black backplate.
 
Whats wrong with wanting a red light? :p will brighten the case up, add some more no existant bling to it haha. Looks pitch black in my case atm coz of the CPU cooler in the way.
 
I dont know if its weird or not, but my HD 2900XT from his as a green led and a red led.. o_O

havent seen the red led turn on after the 1st boot when I installed it. o_O
