I recently started having issues with my Voodoo 5 5500, when trying to launch a game it would freeze up with some red vertical lines on the screen. I backed the drivers down to single chip and it no longer has the issue in that mode. What is the likely the issue with my board and is this repairable?

Could be a number of reasons. The cheapest/simplest would be damaged/failing capacitors on around the second VSA100 chip. Alternatively it could be failing RAM or a failing VSA100 itself.
