So it seems that you are right that my power supply does not have enough juice to power the card. I tried my friends 750tx corsair and it boot up fine on my motherboard.
I'm currently looking for a 750 PSU to pickup. Do you have any recommendations ? I've been looking at the PC power and Cooling vs the 750tx, although a modular psu would be ideal for me.
I followed ars technica's guide and they said that the 625 Modu82+ was good enough for two 4870's.. :(. Two 4870's eat up more juice than one single 4870x2 so no way that is happening :S
