Hey y'all,
I'm posting this to receive help troubleshooting my isue. Any advice/suggestions/feedback is appreciated.
So, I'm playing Wolfenstein 3D on my 386sx-40 jumpered to 33MHz with 4MB SDR and an SB-compatible Aztech OPL2 sound card. Running DOS 6, iirc. After about 10 minutes of play, the whole system hard-locks and I have to reset the machine.
Things I have tried:
1. Applied heatsink to 386
2. Set Blaster in config.sys
3. Tried slowest CPU clock (20MHz)
4. Removed sound card, loaded DOS without drivers (hold Shift on OS load) -- THIS WORKS (as far as I can tell, though I do want mouse and sound)
Things I have not yet tried:
1. Testing with reseated sound card (it sits strangely; bracket naturally barely held in by screw)
2. Boot to/run memtest86
3. Etcetera
I look forward to your replies on this post. 😀
