Hi hi !
I just bought a (old) new PC based on IBM 300GL platform.
Its a desktop version with P2 400 + 192MB ram.
It contains a LAN card + sound blaster live + Voodoo 2, I am very happy.
It came preinstalled with no game so thing I did to test it was installing UT99 in glide mode and it worked well !
Then, I installed another hard-drive and install win Me + updates + 3DFX drivers + UT99.
I never get it to work, I always have a black screen when the voodoo is supposed to render something (including the control pannel ...).
I tried 3 different drivers: FastVoodo (first I tried), koolsmoky and then original ones. They all does the same thing...
So I removed the hard drive and put back the original Win98 SE one...
And now the same happen on tha one :'( .
Do you think it can be faulty hardware? I start thinking the board could have work at the beggining because it was "cold" (all that happened this afternoon) and then start getting glitchy when warm.
I did not changed anything hardware related yet, but that the next step (swapping pci ports), except hard drive but as its a desktop there is not a single change I touched the V2.
I am also considering trying with another PSU.
Any advice will be appreciated 😀.
Cheers,
