roasted voodoo 2?

[Guest]

i have a creative labs vooodoo 2 12 mb.. and i suspect it is roasted...
here is the case:
i was playing Counterstrike just now and i want to quit so i pressed ESC. The display still stay the same palce and i restarted my PC. After restarted, i tried to play red faction or quake 3 and they say it cant detect my voodoo 2!
i restarted my computer a few times and installed the old and new drivers over and over again.it kept showing this error message "glide2x.dll need Voodoo^2 but none found"..
the only way now is plugging out the card and plugging in again which i never try yet.gonna try later.....but i suspect it's roasted..sigh..

Try toasting a marshmallow over the card. If you can, it's roasted.

Seriously, it sounds like the card died.

486/SX 25 @ 256. Anyone have any dry ice to cool down the system?

Good to hear.

It still might be fun to roast some marshmallows over it though

Didn't work. Read my posts in the CPU area.

u didn't update your BIOS?

 

[bront]

I did. The P2B doesn't support the lower voltage is the best guess we had. An slotket card should fix that IF it has a voltage setting regulator.

oh i understand now.. so i must use a slotket WITH an onboard voltage control to setthe voltage but anyway the lowest for P2B is 1.8

 

[bront]

1.8? Oh, that's good. The P3 I had was 1.7, so you won't be overvolting it too much.
