I did some research about the 3 red lights on the back of my 4870, someone said it was because the 8 pin connector to give power to the pci slots... Does my mobo need that? I do have the 2 6 pin connectors in my 4870, im just not getting a display.

What? What does your pci slot have to do with your gpu?
GPU goes into PCI slot, i plug in both 6 pin connectors to GPU, i get 3 red lights on the 4870. no signal going to monitor
The 4870 goes into a pci-e slot.
It is in a pci e slot, x 16 itt giving me 3 red lights on the back
Maybe your PSU can't handle it? What's that wattage on it?
550w
Card could be dead or not receiving sufficient power.
Brand?
Rosewill
Test the card in another computer/ test another psu.
