Hello! I got a complete pentium 2 mmx machine, a Samsung crt monitor, a am386sx mobo, a new at case, a bunch of keyboards and mice, hdd's, zip drives, fdd's, an old book about hdds, an lcd monitor and a case with a p3 in it. I traded my laptop for it all. and I also got a dell 486 laptop, I just need to format it. The p2 mmx boots up but I've tried multiple monitors and they stay in standby.

Main: AMD FX 6300 six core 3.5ghz (OC 4ghz)
16gb DDR3, Nvidia Geforce GT740 4gb Gfx card, running Win7 Ultimate x64
Linux: AMD Athlon 64 4000+, 1.5GB DDR, Nvidia Quadro FX1700 running Debian Jessie 8.4.0

Try a different GPU (video card) than the one you used to test it.

I got it to work with the same video card, all I had to do was reseat it. It boots up win 98 and it has a couple (lame) games.

when it boots up, after a few seconds, it freezes. I'm formatting the hdd and reinstalling win 98.
