Hello,
I got following problem with one of my tnt vanta pci ( no name china knock of) i recently acquierd of ebay. It stoped working after reboot without any prior artefacting or other sighns of trouble then again it had only aroun 10 working hours after i got it. It is instaled in ss7 sis530 sistem running win98.
First i tested onboard vga coupled with voodoo 2 and it works, then i tried the tnt in all available pci slots and no luck. Next was testing the motherboard with ati rage pci and ati r7000 pci and they both work as intendet so there should be no problems with motherboard.
Then i cleaned the pci contacts and check the tnt card for any visable damage with magnifiear and all looks ok (no missing components or blown capacitors) however no luck as card looks in pristine condition hardly any sighns of usage. Then i tried the tnt card in two other system (ss7 via mvp3 and s478 sis 651) however the card is not recognozed there as well.
Any advice on how to procede with identifieing the problem of the tnt card and possible fixing solutions?
