Re: Bad hardware?

in DOS
A Tualatin CPU won't work out of the box with an ASUS S370 slocket. You need either to do the pin-mod or to get a Tualatin-compatible slocket. Read previous posts.

Re: Bad hardware?

in DOS
A free bit of advice, Don't ever throw any old hardware out, unless it's stuffed of course. Dial-up modems throw out, they're the exceptions in my opinion. Agree, but I wouldn't throw out dial-up modems, either. I keep all the external modems I've ever used (4 in total), and the last one, an …

- First get the game working with the standard setup (read the 60 seconds guide, and not only read, but follow it, and so on). - Then try to get it working with your awkward setup. - And finally, if it still doesn't work, come back here and ask for help POLITELY.

I know that Asus P3B-F can provide 1.45-1.5V for Vcore and therefore it doesn't require a Powerleap PL-IP3/T. That's why I mentioned other options.

Re: Please suggest GPU for Windows 95 PC

Don't get rid of CPU and RAM yet. A P-III 800 is more than enough for every DOS and most Win9x games. If you just replace the motherboard, everything else will keep working fine. Also bear in mind that not every slocket adapter will support a Tualatin core (P-III CPUs over 1 GHz). You would need a …

Re: Bad hardware?

Damn, several appear "bloated" and one looks to be "leaking". Sorry to read that. If you are handy with the soldering iron, you can buy a replacement kit and recap the motherboard by yourself: http://www.badcaps.net/store/product_info.php?cPath=1_17&products_id=18 Alternatively, you can buy another …

Re: Bad hardware?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague Looking for bad caps should be one of the first things to do when you find an unstable system built around a motherboard made circa 1999-2000. Of course, there are other possible issues that may cause the same symptoms (bad ram, power supply fault, hard …
