Hi, so I spend the afternoon building a 486 using various things I had around
Right now, it have a DX2 66MHz processor, 8 MB RAM, my AWE32 with the DB50XG for DOOM, and my old video card, this one was from my first PC, as the motherboard.
Everything is working just fine, except that I can't restart the PC, if I change some setting in the BIOS after I choose save + exit the computer freezes, if I press ctrl + alt + del after turning on the PC the same thing happens, the PC just freezes, the reset button works just fine.
I already swaped the hard drive, memory, hard disk, cmos battery, I can't think of anything else.
The only thing I'm doing that I don't usually do is that I have the AWE32 in a VLB slot (I have all 3 VLB slots populated). I can't use the AWE in a ISA slot because it doesn't fit, it thouches the cooler of the processor.
Any thoughts of what my be causing the lockups?
Thanks
And some photos 😀
