Setup: Asrock 775i65g r3.0, Pentium e5800, Nvidia Quadro4 380xgl, SBLive, 512mb ram, Win98 SE. System works fine without Voodoo.
I got a Diamon Monster 3d II 8MB Voodoo 2 off ebay. Windows detects a new device but won't load the drivers. I've tried 3 different reference driver versions as well as Fast Voodoo drivers but nothing works - always from a fresh install. It will show a Voodoo 2 in device manager but with no driver loaded. I get an error about no Voodoo 2 detected on startup. I've tried different PCI slots as well with only the Nvidia card installed. The passthrough works but that's it. Looking at the card, I can see some pins bent near the PCI slot:
Could this be the problem? If so, is it fixable or should I request a refund? I've never attempted anything like this before.
edit: After trying to mess with it, I think some of the pins aren't connected to the PCB so I'll have to return it.
