I am sorry, but what's printed on the label? Radeon 7500 PCI, right? No Radeon Mobility 7500 PCI. And for me, this means the card is not marked correctly and the buyer has been misled, because the RV200 GPU in R7500 is in a different configuration and more powerful than the M7 GPU in Mobility.

Both files are parts of DOS drivers from S3D toolkit, but IDK if they are necessary.

@texspex: thank you very much for your advice - I'll try to find the source of the problems and your tips are usefull. Is it possible to measure transistors directly on the card in the circuit or not (I am afraid no)? @disaster: silver heatsink was rest from AC Twin Turbo PRO kit, so 2 of them had …

Thank you for tips, but it is only bad angle view - when I installed the heatsinks, I was careful not to short-circuit anything and the card would then work for around 2 weeks without problems.

Seems I have bad luck. About two weeks ago, I bought an X700 PRO graphics card. It was perfect for the build with PCIE slot and W98SE. I put a new paste under the cooler (AC Silencer) and put the heatsinks on the mosfets, the card worked perfectly (I played games on it) until yesterday. Yesterday, …

You could try Omega drivers, that member Warlord recommends here: T42 - Mobility Radeon 7500 Driver Help Anyway, if the card was advertised as a Radeon 7500 (RV200, 2PS-1VS-6TMU-2ROP) and it's populated with a Mobility Radeon 7500 (M7, 2PS-0VS-2TMU-1ROP), it's a scam and I'd give the card back.

Nice build in any case, but little question: how does your FDD work when it's plugged in with an inverted cable? The cut and turned end of the cable is supposed to be plugged into the floppy disk drives connector, not the board (as you seem to have it).

i815 chipset support AGP 4x, so even 1,5V signalling voltage. I'd be surprised if it was different on your motherboard.
