4870x2 Red Lights

[RoEy]

Hi all,

Just a quick question. When I purchased my Sapphire 4870x2 card I'm sure that when my PC booted it would flash all 5 red lights for a second. Now it flashes 3 at post.

The card is working fine and all is well but is it normal to just flash 3 instead of all 5?

yeah thats normal, it shouldnt flash all 5, prob just cos first time it powered up, if it does it reguarly it means you have a power fault

It only lights up 3 now. So there is a fault then? Surely can't be a power issue as I have a Corsair HX1000. My monitor sometimes doesn’t come on even when I try to physically turn it on but apart from that it's fine. Only had monitor do that 2 times in 2 months.

What should I do?

P.S - Sorry just noticed you put 'shouldn't not 'should'. Thanks for info.

no, only lighting up 3 is normal/fine, I was saying if it lights up all 5 then that indicates a power fault, 3 is good, dont worry
