2 Red Lights on Sapphire Radeon HD 4850X2

Alright, i've been searching around on the web. I just picked up this card and I believe it's not getting enough power, but i'm not certain. I'm running a whimpy 450w PSU in my build. Is the card fried or am i just not getting enough power?

Run thru this and see what you come up with.

Could be a short on the motherboard, is the mobo sitting directly on the case or do you have standoffs under it?

I believe it's sitting right on the case. And for that site, well.. I don't know enough about my computer to fill in the fields.. Lol

You can remove the mobo from the case and try it on a wooded or glass surface. Do this only if you are comfortable with taking your system apart! I always use rubber washers between the board and the case as a precaution. Make sure the video card is seated correctly in the slot and the power plug is in and locked down.

As for the psu calculator, in Windows go to Start>Run type in dxdiag and run the diagnostics. It will give you enough info to help out, cpu brand, amount of ram, etc. Come close and see what you get.
