Hi!
I'm looking for help on my Voodoo3 2000 graphics card. For a couple of days now there have been lines (horizontal or vertical) going through the image on the screen, sometimes buggy characters as well. When I *attempt* to start windows, the system completely locks up and resets itself after a couple of seconds. When the system starts up after a crash it usually works (except for the glitches). I know that the other parts in the system are in working order. What do you think it could be? I'm thinking about dead video memory or maybe a bad capacitor that has to heat up to start "working" again. Do you guys have any experience with stuff like this?
Thanks a bunch,
Lolu

Looks like GPU will soon meet dodo in the halls of Valhalla.

I must be some kind of standard: the anonymous gangbanger of the 21st century.

Certainly don't hope so! 😀 I'll try to keep it alive, even if it means I have to reball the main IC.
