Voodoo2 crashing pc?
Posted on 2017-03-22, 02:44
So I just installed a new voodoo2 into my win98 rig (Geforce2 ti, p3 1ghz, 512mb of ram, and an asus p2b-f) but when I try to change the resolution, it completely hangs up and I can't do anything. In some cases I get a blue screen or a black screen with green lines at the very top. Any suggestions …

Like i said, you can simply blow off components with a heatgun. You can be too late very easy. Keep asking these questions is not going to make it anything different. Make up your mind and put the card in the oven, or not. Chances are slim that you fix it that way, chances are also slim that you …

So I have an oven, and a heat gun with a digital display and adjustable temps from 120 to 750 Fahrenheit, which would be better to go for? Between the two, I'd say oven. At least it will uniformly heat the board. Non-uniform heat is a problem in itself. Do I think the oven will likely fix your card …

Leaded solder can absolutely crack, even if it's less likely. The problem with lead-free solder is that it can crack with very little convincing. You can still mishandle a board and crack leaded solder (without ruining anything else on the board), and I'm not surprised if a relatively large PCB …

Well, if you didn't own it from new, you never know what the card has been trough. Maybe it was thrown in boxes with other cards several times etc. and that way there IS a crack in the solder somewhere. A heatgun might be better BUT it is very hard to control and you don't know how hot the area is. …

My best advice for replacing the rest of the missing caps would be to find pictures of an identical voodoo 5, check the caps and replace them with the equivalents on the other Voodoo. Or possibly another member could read you off the values from their card maybe. As previously suggested, the nature …

It's better to get it working without baking if you can, but the downside is that if you add the components and then it doesn't work and you bake it... baking is actually bad for capacitors. It can fix problems with solder but it can also cause other problems - it's a roll of the dice. I've seen …
Voodoo5 5500 Bake?

So I have a voodoo5 5500 that is displaying red lines. It was missing C505, C515, C109, C90, and C543. I have put C515 and C109 back on and there was no improvements. And so I went researching. I came across a few videos on saving gpu's that display red lines. Would baking it work? Also anyone know …

The missing caps should be 100nF/0,1µF 16V 0603 X7R 5 or 10% but I'm pretty sure they're not what's causing the vertical lines. Most likely one of the chips is dead... could be worth a shot adding the missing capacitors - maybe I'm wrong. Have a look here as well - there's useful links about half …

So I bought a voodoo5 5500 and it wasn't working. So I took a flashlight and some time to look over the board and found these capacitors missing. C543 and C515 look to have had capacitors in those places since its not just solder blobs but blobs with rectangle imprints as if the capacitors were …
