They're seated and installed correctly. I have mixed and swapped RAM and it doesn't seem to solve the issue. So I suppose it is down to either the motherboard or the video card.

If anyone knows anything about the Sapphire radeon 4870 maybe this should help. As soon as the screen goes blank a red LED light pops up on the video card. I have no idea what it means but I am sure it now has something to do with the video card....

Just found something "Critical Temperture Fault" light is going on when screen goes black. Going to try and reinstall the fan on the card along with some artic silver and see what happens.

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE

Because I am a MORON I forgot to mention I installed an aftermarket cooler on my VGA. And because I am a moron I forgot the VGA will detect if the fan is spinning or not, and because the moron forgot about the aftermarket cooler does not attatch to the VGA fan for power, the VGA thinks there is no fan spinning...

Sorry for everyone's trouble and thank you for the suggestions though
