So i send my 4870 graphics card back and they said there is nothig wrong with it but i still get 3 red lights on the back of graphics card what should i do

make sure your using the correct 6-pin and 8-pin connectors, they usually are tagged as pci-e in some way.

It could also mean a psu issue (least i think because I was getting those lights just before my psu died).

hmm but the fans are still working

The fans working don't really mean anything. It sure doesn't take much power to run a fan. A nearly dead PSU will run a fan, but not a system. I'd have to say it's a PSU problem.

You might want to post the complete computer specs. I know you already had another thread about this, but I don't feel like tracking it down right now. You should have just updated that thread so we could easily see what troubleshooting has already been done.
