Hi, i recently bought Asus K7V motherboard, with Athlon 600 CPU. Seller sent me the pictures of working board, but when i tried the board the first time, there was no picture. I connected the speaker to the board just to hear the beep codes if there are any, and i hear "siren like" hi-low-hi-low-hi …

BIOS beep codes https://www.computerhope.com/beep.htm Since it appears to be Award BIOS, this seems to be a CPU error of some kind. It could be entirely the motherboard causing it. Do the CPU edge connector and slot contacts appear clean? Does reseating the CPU change anything? I have a Slot 1 P3 …

That would be way too slow for the Voodoo 1. Consider that it was aimed at Pentium 133 - 166 and it scales pretty nicely all the way up to early Pentium II systems. Performance will be pretty bad on a 486 of any kind, I would recommend a different system for first time users. Ok, if i'm going to be …

What rasz_pl is saying is that you should be mindful of your CPU frequency. From my experience, Voodoo 1 runs just fine on anything up to 300 MHz or 66MHz FSB in general, but as soon as the FSB is raised to 100MHz or you start going south 450-500 MHz, all sorts of weird glitches start showing up. …

Ok, officially, i'm an idiot!!! I didn't know that, and of course, when i added another Graphics card, it worked perfect!!! Thanks a lot, i should ask this question before, it would save me some nerves 😀

No, just Voodoo alone. Do i need to add another VGA card to PCI slot for voodoo to work, or did i misunderstood You? I have never own a Voodoo card before, and i don't know 🙁 This is the card i tried (in attachment)

Hi, recently i bought Voodoo 1 PCI graphics card, and the seller sent me the videos and photos of working card. When arrive, i noticed one missing SMD capacitor on C101, and i didn't want to turn on the card without this little cap (even though it would work without it). I have order all 10 new caps …

I have exact same card as You, can i help somehow, is there any way i can measure those values? Capacitors should not be the problem, i can measure capacitance (not the best tool, but the closest i can measure), but how to measure L10? Hi, i dont think the inductor is critical, my worry are the …

And also try switch camera Video output (yellow jack) to other "holes" :) There is chroma and luma, but the rgb works only in one of them, and i believe in luma. Switch right to the scart (same as the one i marked yellow on that picture up there) is i think for monochrome or something like that, but …

Your post was too "narrow".... You didn't wrote did You try on all inputs, you didn't mention if You tried all the switches on the back side of monitor, or like BitWrangler said, did You tried all the potentiometers,..... Maybe all this would be helpfull.... I connected a camera to the rbg output. …

Yes, but the 9 chip ones should work as well. I know I have some laying around to verify, question is where... Your chips don't use A11, so that shouldn't be a problem. Do you have a programmer for the bios or someone nearby that can program a chip for you ? Yes, a friend has flashed me new 2.7 …
