Hi all,
I have a problem with one of my old PC's and was hoping to get some help here 😀
Ok, it's a P133, Asus P/I P55SP4 mainboard with 128 MB RAM, Voodoo 3-2000 PCI and a Soundblaster 16 (CT2230) and running Win98SE.
I ran a P166MMX in it which worked fine, although the MMX part wasn't recognized by the Bios: bootscreen showed a Pentium-S 167MHz.
All worked fine until the games were extremely slow one day. With slow I mean like 3 fps in Quake 2. I tried several solutions of which none made any difference:
- I put the P133 back in
- swapped the voodoo for a S3 Trio 64+
- checked the RAM modules (I have 4x 32MB)
Nothing helped, and also Tie Fighter (DOS game) is really slow.
Also, when I connect the 3,5" floppy drive the system won't boot and just hangs in post. This started to happen before the slow video thing (I just disconnected the drive).
Might be a broken controller on the board, another drive doesnt make any differnce. Disconnected or not, the bios still shows and A: drive.
Any thoughts?
Cheers and thanks in advance!
