I was just testing a socket 7 with pentium 100Mhz. There was a voodoo 1 card and I just launched 3dfx version of tomb raider and exactly when the voodoo card was suppose to take over I head small zap sound and power supply turns off.
Now I am wondering if the voodoo 1 card is broken and might break something else if I tried in another system or if it was just spike in power consumption that caused the psu to fail when the voodoo 1 card took over.
The psu was only 200W and there was a cd drive, a hard drive and a floppy drive and a cpu fan connected to it too. Video card was diamond stealth 64 dram. I don't think the system should have used more than 100W but can't be sure.
There isn't any burning smell inside the system. Not even from inside the psu. Should I just test the voodoo card in another system or is there anything else I should do?
