I've got a Voodoo5 which seems in good condition. It works in BIOS and command-line tools like memtest, but it just crashes in any other mode. When the Windows98 logo shows up, it crashes the whole computer in 0-3 seconds (the picture stays frozen, and nothing responds, HDD stops working, keyboard stops working...)

I've noticed the image is a bit 'wobbly', which makes me wondering if the filtering capacitors need to be replaced, maybe causing some instability (?)

Does anyone had a similar problem there, which would help finding what's wrong with my card ?

Power supply? Additional molex on vga is connected? Check fuse on card? Check 5v & 12v with multimetter when pc is running. . .
