hello all System hangs after about 1-3 minutes of use. It just freezes without powering off. Sometimes audio continiues playing, sometimes it doesn't. I've tried to play (NFS 2, NFS 3, Quake 2, Quake 3, Half-Life), Using Windows's safe mode doesn't alter the situation. Curiously enough, all 3D games without 3DFx and 3DMark 99 & 2000 work just fine !!! (Revenant, Might & Magic 6-7 in Direct 3D!, all NFS in sowtware mode, and of course the DOS games work fine) I reinstalled Windows several times original Win98 and Win98IF My config: CPU: Pentium II 233 MMX (Slot 1) Klamath Mainboard: Rhino2LX Intel 440LXEX 2A69JO09 Sound: Creative AWE64 Video: 3DFX Voodoo 3 3000 AGP 16MB (many drivers Official/Omega/AmigaMerlin and more) Power: 300W System: Win98IF My BIOS settings: add PnP OS Installed "YES" add AGP Aperture Size "64" my VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eikk5h6GZg&feature=youtu.be Later I made the video with all my freeze games + i later test Unreal, Carmaggedon... What's the problem may be? Broken Voodoo3, mainboard or AGP Slot? ps. After two or three weeks, I'll try install VooDoo 3 2000 AGP. Thanks. Add: in norton utilities test "Vertical Retrace" NOT PASSED FREEZE! skip test RIVA TNT2 is OK PASSED
to Davehillbo in BIOS, system not freeze. try to flash the BIOS mainboard or VooDoo BIOS? i not found on the internet BIOS for my motherboard "Rhino2LX Intel 440LXEX 2A69JO09" to all i test VooDoo in MSI 694T Pro VIA VT82C694X Apollo Pro133A, in Norton Utilites "Vertical Retrace" test not passed freeze system. but all games 3Dfx works fine.
or MSI 694T Pro VIA mainboard, VooDoo work fine, in safe mode and D3d/OpenGL/3Dfx games. VooDoo or Intel 440LXEX mainboard, safe mode and all 3DFx games FREEZE, but all Direct 3D games work fine.
that's just bizzare. im going to put it down to either the motherboard or PSU, as you have tried the voodoo in a different system.
yes, problem with the motherboard i bought mainboard Asus P2B-LS + CPU P3 450, my Voodoo3 3000 work fine! and i bought Vodoo3 2000 on Rhino II LX P2 233, work fine! ps. i test Voodoo3 and Voodoo5 strange results of the test, are almost identical. 3DMark1999 Voodoo 3 3000 - 2368 points Voodoo 5 5500 - 3058 points Voodoo 5 5500 - 1752 points 32bit 3DMark2000 Voodoo 3 3000 - 1755 points Voodoo 5 5500 - 1826 points Voodoo 5 5500 - 1827 points 32bit
