3 diagnostic leds on Radeon 4890

(I'm writing this on a different pc so I cannot use TSG Info)

I woke my pc up from sleep state, as usual, and the blinking light on the case that is usually blinking when it's in sleep state was still blinking, like it wasn't all the way 'woken up'. Some regular lights that usually go on when it's awake went on but I could hear that the fans weren't totally spinning up. The monitor had not awoken either.

Then I noticed some red lights on on the video card, lights I believe are not usually on. So I'm thinking it's damaged or dead??

The pc had not been on and the temps were very low (in the 20s).

Since I cannot view anything on my pc, I'll give you the info I remember:

Radeon HD 4890
No overclocking
I believe I have the latest drivers
Windows Vista 64 bit, I think SP2 (whatever is most recent)
MB is Asus Crosshair 3 Formula AM3 790FX
Power: Thermaltake TR2 rx850 (http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/Produc...C=1264&ID=1830)
Viewsonic monitor (P810)
CPU: AMD Phenom 2 x4 955 3.2 GHz
4 DDR3 RAM
-------------------
Diagnostics:
HD 4890 LEDs

D601: VDDC_FAULT

D1601: critical temperature fault

D1602: AUX Hot Plug/Unplug Fault (upper connector)

D1603: AUX Hot Plug/Unplug Fault (lower connector)

At BOOT/POST, the card's fan will spin @ 100% for a short while and 3 of the 4 LEDs will light up for a brief period and then go out ( D601 should remain unlit ). This is NORMAL behavior as the card is performing it's own type of POST test.

**The ones I have lit up are D1601, 1602, 1603

***I noticed I posted a problem like this in 2009 (tho it was heating up) and it never was resolved.
