Does it do the same from both controller ports? Bad caps are a possibility. Pretty rare problem for caps but it does happen. My niece's P4 Soyo board did something like this (on one port only) and it was a small bad cap near the port. On her's it kept corrupting the files needed to start Windows so …

Are you using the drives all at once or one at a time? At what point do they freeze? What is the PSU? - Have you checked it for bloated caps? Latest BIOS rev? What size drives? Compatible with the BIOS limits? . 1. One at a time 2. Each drive freezes when writing to a certain sector (each sector …

Quake has no vsync and the game timer can exceed 70fps on stock dos quake. You'll have to compensate with huge resolutions, which 1280x1024 is the max, and will still be too fast most likely. In actual DOS mode, the game wont speed up when you go above 70 FPS. In DOSBox and Windows DOS mode it will …

It came from this thread: 3DFX Voodoo 3 3000 - Inconsistencies with some DOS and Windows Games and it was "Frame Buffer Posted Write" The issue is still there with the shareware version.

Perhaps try the Shareware version? Then if the issue persists, perhaps clueless1 may be open to testing that version on his machine for you so that they can be compared, eliminating a compatibility issue. Shareware: ftp://DXZeff.com/3DREALMS/share/3dtv12.zip I would also offer to test, but I don't …
