    These are diagnostic LEDs, they flash as a 'self test' when the card powers up. Should they be illuminated when the card is on, it means a fault has been detected (Usually, if one is lit, your PC will not boot - they usually indicate either a card fault, PCI Express fault, or power error (such as not having plugged in the PCIe power connectors)
