Hi!
I just completed my 486 build but the system freezes at random times. If I wiggle any of the ISA cards slightly it starts working again. At first it was the NIC so I removed it but after that it's the sound card and after that it's the graphics card or the IDE/floppy controller. I have cleaned all the ISA slots with IPA and a toothbrush so it should be clean. Has anyone has this issue before and know how to fix it?
My parts:
Motherboard: Dataexpert EXP4044 V1.0
CPU: AMD 5x86 133
PSU: Sunshine 200W AT recapped
IDE/floppy controller: Pine PT-626 VLB
GPU: Cirrus Logic 5428 1MB VLB
Sound card: Yamaha YMF719E-S
NIC: 3com 3C509B
I also got a 1GB CF card as HDD, a CD-ROM and a 1.44MB floppy drive.
Thanks!
