I have a pretty overkill Asus GeForce FX 5900 Ultra 256MB in my dual slot 1 P3, along with a Voodoo2 SLI-setup. It was supposed to be a all around DOS/WIN-XP build. The intent was to have a system were the CPUs weren't bottlenecked, hence the the overkill videocard, but I've experienced some strange video-issues in DOS mode.
1. The display disappears at first boot when I hit the DOS-boot menu. After about 2 seconds, the screen goes dark. The system is still on, but the screen is black. When I reboot it doesn't happen. It is intermittent.
2. Entering certain games, or the config menu of say FIFA International or Raptor, my DOS-prompt is suddenly only showing every second line. However, games show the entire screen, so only DOS is affected, and the config menu if I re-enter it.
Now, I have tried to plug the monitor directly into the Geforce-card, the issue persists, so it is not related to the Voodoo2's. In Windows XP and 98se I experience no problems.
Is my card dying or could something else be going on? My monitor (I really hope not)?
