Is the OS build a clean one from scratch, or are you trying to install on an old, existing build? If it is an old build, then you might have old/conflicting Voodoo drivers that are causing you grief. Gotta be it, installed card myself in Win98 machine with V2.10 drivers, didn't even had to restart …

I don't remember how driver tabs looks like in Win98 for a Voodoo2, but from what i can see, card was detected by the PC and drivers were installed (resource tab is present), what do you get when trying to run glide games?

Ampera wrote: You don't even need to really straighten them. Just take a thin blade like an X-Acto knife, and separate the pins. Don't do it too hard, you just want them not touching, and SMD legs can come off very easily, and once they do, it's game over. This is why you should never use any …

If you really wish to modify a newer ATX PSU, examine this circuit, it shows what is needed to form a -5 rail: http://danyk.cz/s_atx01d.png. Basically all you need to do is to add a reversed polarity center tapped bridge rectifier with filtering components, you can assemble such circuit on separate …

That is a FBI chip, and such shorts are very common, just take a sharp syringe needle (not blade or any sewing needle) and start straightening pins from left to right by inserting needle between pins.

Those are diodes and not capacitors, look at the PCB marking (CR), it's purpose there are to protect rest of the circuit from shorted voltage regulator, so that is the case of charred diodes. Is it worth repairing now? -if you don't have skills or right equipment and plan to bring it to repair shop, …

Checked all traces, SMD caps/resistors on that bricked card, even applied slight pressure with a sharp needle on each major ICs pin just to see whether they are soldered properly, couldn't find anything suspicious. Any advices on how I could test that card or diagnose faulty components? Maybe …

Update: Both tries to fix card (connecting RAS0 to BANK1 and soldering memory ICs) didn't work at all, card still keeps hanging when texturing is enabled... looks like that missing memory ICs has NOTHING to do with this problem (used exact same memory, just 35ns).

Greetings, I’ve decided to post here my observations while troubleshooting a bricked Voodoo2 card, in this case, it was missing two EDO memory ICs, which were removed by previous owner. When I got this card, few years ago, it was in a pretty bad shape, missing metal bracket, few SMDs and detached/ …

Am i the only one around here who noticed that this Voodoo stock clock is actually 45 and not 50 MHz? It says right on the PCB "45 MPixel/s", knowing that 1 MHz of pixel pipeline clock produces 1 MPixel/s fill rate. Voodoos are known for it's low overclocking headroom, at certain point of OC'ing …

If you like noisy hard drives, you should get a 2 GB SCSI seagate barracuda, those things sound like angle grinders... not kidding.

Was about to post jumper settings and mate, it says on the dip switch where OFF position is :happy: Even and odd chips are the BIOS EPROMs, BIOS image itself is divided into two images which consists of even and odd address values from original image, it was done in order to form a 16 bit data bus …

Have you tried running a 3D game that doesn't utilize multitexturing and checking whether the texture corruption still persist?

Here you go, if this information is still relevant for you http://th99.classic-computing.de/src/m/A-B/30077.htm PS. your MB is equipped with 128KB of cache.

The R31 and R52 are still somewhat readable, but R95 is completely gone and board has no repeating components pattern to even guess its value, caps can basically be ignored as they are used there for decoupling/bypassing, card should work w/o them, just solder resistors first and make sure that card …

Greetings, I've recently received a bundle of old hardware parts and among it were two AST 486 motherboards (AST Premmia - with EISA slots and Bravo LP), equipped with integrated SX-33 CPUs. Unfortunately, both motherboards had all electrolytic capacitors, some wires connecting ICS on PCB (AST …
