So I have this issue with the 4870 and it's happened before.

The first time it happened, it wouldn't power on and I did a clean install but 4870 wasn't recognized still. So after not having it plugged in for 5 days or so I plugged it in and it worked and was recognized.

Last night it went to sleep/hiberate (I fell asleep on the phone while PC was on) and I wake up to find it on sleep/hiberate. I try to wake it up but it turns on with the D601 red light and won't power on. So I turned off the computer and now the card is still there with the D601 and won't be recognized and I'm using the onboard.

I'm guessing the power supply isn't giving it enough power since it was in sleep for so long? It's not the card as it happened the first time and it works.

Any help?
