Greetings,
I just received a Voodoo 5 from an ebay purchase. The individual listed it as tested and working. I removed my Voodoo 3, installed the Voodoo5, and connected the molex connector to power the card. When I boot up the PC, the display is glitched. I can make out words and the energy star symbol has the right colors, but there are 6'd and other random characters, all over the screen. I am assuming that the card is bad. The seller listed it as "no returns" but also listed it as "tested and working." Before messaging the guy and dealing with it through ebay, I am digging out my Athlon XP system to test it in (this system is an Asus P2B with a P3,) and see if the same thing occurs. The PC ran just fine with a Voodoo 3, and I even had it booted up prior to testing the V5.
Is there anything else I should try or that I need to know about this? Thanks!
