Email them again and its incredibly rare for two cards to be faulty, I reckon you have a faulty psu. Not that its a bad psu but that it may be deffective, try using another and see if the problem persists. Also you may have short circuited it by accident when handling the gpu.

Your PSU according to Corsair has a PCI-E 6+2 pin (total of 8 pins) how did you connected it. The 4800 series without auxiliary power runs the fan at maximum and displays no image.

just out of interest, do you do the fan fix when you got the card?
Im only asking as these cards will idle ridiculously hot and without the fan fix I could understand it breaking after 2 weeks or so of use.
I had mine running stock for a day before I found out about how to adjust the fan speed.

On the reference board the connector marked in the picture doesn't get connected to the PSU, the adapter cable purposely misses that pin. The Powercolor HD 4850 PCS uses the original layout, the only difference is the GPU cooler. The connector on the PCB is soldered, so if the PCIE connector of the Corsair is connected to +12V, maybe it could have fried some of the VRM's (lose one phase, stress the others) -> resulting no aux power -> no screen, 100% gpu cooler, and death.

its very possible then that the card was damaged due to the high heat they run at with a low fan setting. My powercolour 4870 idles with the VRM's at 90c!!! I quickly set the fan onto 35% for 2D and 50% for 3D when I saw these temps though and now they in the 40c region.

I believe the cards are the problem. I use a Corsair HX620 with my 48xx series cards with no problems. Two bad cards is just bad luck, sorry about your pain.
That is simply untrue.

Sorry but it's true. Here is a picture of my Asus 4850 with its adaptor cable connected. As you can see the card has:
2x +12V (yellow wires)
2x ground (black wires)
2x ground (brown wires) connected together to one pin
between +12V pins there isn't any wire (just the pin on the PCB)

oh and as for the garbage coolers on the 3850/4850 mine did just fine @800mhz fans @60% and i ran two 3850s on a Tt 500w purepower without an issue i think that his corsair should be doing just fine with a single 4850

Where are you getting these rated temperatures from? 90C can and will kill a card over time. The GPU core might be able to handle those high temps, but the areas surrounding the GPU core can't.
And yes, with upping the fan speed, it is possible to keep the cards at acceptable temps, but when left at stock they overheat. Since he didn't mention anything about upping the fan speed manually, I can only assume he didn't.
