Check the capacitors on your motherboard and your PSU.

Beginnings of a nice PC indeed. Good choice of video cards, you can also try out their own 3d Acceleration implementation, even though the 586 may be a bit slow, the games are more a curiosity to play round with then get back to the games you love anyway. https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=33483 …

Nice system! These LuckyStar boards are a fine alternative to the late, UMC based, 486 speed kings. I also have CT4520 and I REALLY like it because of its compactness and great sound... I'm not a sound connoisseur so a card like this is high end for me. Your more recent PCI cards require a newer PCI …

Keep in mind these aren't our main PC anymore. Back then we asked them to perform Office, gaming, and worst offender internet duties all while anti virus and whatever else also running in the background. By comparison now we get to run bare minimum software, and what is installed is nice mature …

One step forward and another back, S3 Virge is working well, big improvements in various DOS benchmarks from philscomputerlab.com But the machine randomly freezes in Windows after installing the AWE64. Freezing happens in all 3 ISA slots. EDIT - this is in Windows 98, same thing is happening with a …

On a hunch, check to make sure the RAM you have in the system is FPM not EDO.. Is there a utility I can run to make sure? When I google part #'s from the chips I seem to get results saying fast page. I'll post pics of the ram sticks in a few minutes. EDIT - pics attached. I'm going to try just one …

I overclocked a K5-133 to Pr200 on a pcchips m571 The trick is that the board has unlisted voltages beyond 3.5 Volts, I believe I had it around 4 Volts On the board you will see a bunch of voltage jumpers, if you bridge more than one you get more voltage I had a good heatsynce and fan (for the …

I have a K5 PR166 as well, but I want to obtain a PR133.. I want to replace my Pentium 133/Voodoo system with a PR133 chip.

Ahhh, 125 MHz (83 x 1.5) is fairly easy to achieve on a K5, but not 133 MHz (66 x 2) unless you have a real PR200 chip. Are you able to get 66x2 going?

I've never heard of a PR166 running reliably at 133 MHz. At what voltage were you running?

Does anyone know if the 5k86 really is faster/more efficient than the SSA/5 stepping? Since the later 5k86 uses a higher PR rating than it's clockspeed, while the earlier one has a PR rating exactly at it's clockspeed. I quote myself from cpuworld: So, here's my little comparison. It's no …

Can you enter bios setup? If so, disable external cache. If not, remove all your cache chips and try again.

How long did you wait? Think its searching for a HDD- or FDD-controller which isnt there. What is the display on the POST card?

I've never heard of a PR166 running reliably at 133 MHz. At what voltage were you running? His experience may be a misconception, if I set my board to 2x I don’t get a real 2x in the chip I have to set 3x to get 2x. Perhaps he had the board set to 2x or 2.5x or whatever you set a pr166 at but …

It's been a long time since I've run these K5 chips for testing, but something in the back of my head is hinting that these chips are multiplier locked? There's 1.5x, 1.75x, and 2.0x for the PR100/PR133, PR166, and PR200, respectively.
