Make sure the card is fully seated and both 6-pin leads are correctly inserted.
This is all I could find on the LEDs:

D1601 - Red LED On, shows critical temperature fault

D1602 - Red LED On, shows External power connector A was removed

D1603 - Red LED On, shows External power connector B was removed

Those 3 are on instantly... This was not before adjusting the cooler.

What do you mean by `adjusting the cooler?` Which cooler, and how did you adjust it?

I bought the OCZ Vendetta 2 with the pc parts. I never used the stock cooler of my processor [q6600], I used the OCZ Vendetta 2 cooler, after building my pc, I realized the CPU was overheated.. I checked the OCZ, 1 of the pins were loose. [at that point I was able to get in my bios, so the gfx card worked] after adjusting the pins [and removing the gfx card because of too much room], I managed to get it to work [the ocz] but then I turned on my computer, at that point the gfx card gave red light... plus i had no screen...

well looks like its overheating from the error???

Take it off remove all paste, reapply and try again?

May be because of not enough power supply..
