Yeah true that, no issues on the p5a. Guess i really need to see what's up with the ax59pro.

Hey thanks meljor, yeah the board had never had issues posting in the past with the geforce2, did have issues with a k6-2 cpu and installing windows back then, but when i switched to the cyrix it seemed to be alright. Now with the k6-iii+ the issue is right at post, it's fine if i drop the bus to 95 …

Thank you very much, tried a different old psu (in case there was something funky with the corsair) from enlighten that i use on the testbench and same thing, at 400 it will post once in every 3-4 times with 100mhz bus at 450 one in like 10 times, so guess that's why. Would a mx400 be less power …

Switched to a corsair i had on the homeserver, it's a tx550 or so. I just remembered i had a rage iic agp card laying around and tried that and posted fine even at 600. Could it be some weird imcompatibility with the geforces i have? Both are from creative. Will try later on the p5a but could just …

So got two k6-iii+ 400 cpu's today to rule out issues i had with previous k6-2 cpu's i had. I have the latest aopen ax59pro bios rev and even at default clock/voltage it seemed like sometimes it didn't want to boot up, monitor would turn on but no image and no post sound. Tried to up the clock a bit …

Did a fresh install with dx7 and nvidia drivers 6.31 + aliagp 1.7 but still the same 🙁 Maybe it's just a odd game but i'll check again tomorow when i get some k6-iii+'s maybe that will help. Thanks!

Thank you, yeah so far the odd one out i noticed was Moto Racer 2, other games i've tried so far have been alright and moto racer 1 runs well (Only didn't run too well on the cyrix 6x86l). Other games where i noticed slow 3d performance was on stuff like school tycoon which i just wanted to test but …

I have tried moto racer 2 on my geforce256 on two different boards (Asus P5A and the DFI K6XV3+/66) with a k6-2 450 and the game runs pretty bad at even medium settings and 640x480 resolution, i'd guess that by the date the game was released it seems odd that it runs so badly, did anyone with a …

Alright that solution worked quite well until it decided it had enough 😜, switched the cpu to a 6x86l pr200 now to test that and so far it's installing windows from the cd drive which it didn't before, will keep testing to make sure all is okay. Damn problem from hell 😜.

Yeah more testing and still no issues ever since i used the via controller just for the cdrom. Strange, maybe my board has the dma bug but i even disabled dma in the bios and played around with the fio modes and no luck, even with the channels disabled it still seems like the bios tries to detect …

Okay small update, i tried connecting the cd drive to the VIA VT6421A just to test a game since i can't boot with it and installed windows drivers and got to test motoracer for like 30 mins, seemed to work fine, no blue screens no hangs, when i'm back from work i'll be able to test a bit better but …

Only have some via VT6421A pci card with me right now :( which has ide and sata connectors which i used on linux before but doubt i could boot the hard drive with it but will try connecting the cd to it to help narrow down the issues. Thanks for the help, this damn issue is really doing my head in, …

Yeah since i don't know how long it was ran with messy voltage with the previous owner so it can be that indeed. Yeah i tried pretty much every configuration on bios, right now ram timings are at the slowest setting, disabled parallel ports disabled udma for install and reenabled it after installing …

Hey thanks, i did a visual inspection yesterday and everything seemed fine on the back and front :(, but of course just visual inspection isn't enough. I have a cyrix pr200 sitting around so guess i'll go for the hail mary and try it to see if it helps. Forgot one thing: when i got the board the …

Recently got an aopen ax59pro with a k6-ii/450 cpu and a iic radeon card. When it arrived i placed it on an atx case and installed windows, it went fine but was getting some blue screens so i decided to change ram and also got a better hard drive and also found my old geforce 256 and 2 ultra so …

Oh sweet, thank you! Gonna clean it with some isopropyl and slot it in, much appreciated for the help. Glad i could find it but still bummed about not finding the voodoos :(, will try again next weekend. Had some free time today but no luck finding the voodoos, guess i'll have to order one or two, …

Hey thank you very much for the help :) Went to the garage to see if i could find one of the banshees or voodoo 1 but no luck, must be in the damn boxes up by the ceiling :( Found this though: http://www.gpuzoo.com/GPU-Creative_Labs/3D_Blaster_Annihilator_Pro_D_V_O_-_CT6970.html Would that be more …

Hello there, right now i have a rage iic card on my aopen ax59pro while waiting for some more hardware to arrive or until i find my old voodoo cards but wanted to play some motoracer and the performance is god awful on the rage card. Managed to find a https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV- …
