the solution was to get another one on ebay.
now i have a spare voodoo5.
i guess one gpu is dead, the two fans are working and the heatsinkers are well fitted.

windows me and directx 9.0
it´s not overclocked.
never had any problem.
the problem is that i can only play in single chip configuration, not with fastest performance, 2xfsaa or 4xfsaa configurations.
i would assume that this might be a fried gpu but when i test this card in dxdiagram (with 4xfsaa or single chip) i have no lockup.

hi nightbird,
yes, they are working.

Hi,

i have a voodoo5 5500 agp.
for the past four years i have never got any problems with this card.
since last week i can only play games in single chip configuration.
now, this might be a fried gpu but in directx diagram i can run d3d tests and 4xfsaa activated. with 2xfsaa and with fastest performance configuration i get a pc lockup.
how can this be possible?
the cube in d3d tests has strange paterns and the back screen has vertical lines.
i have cleaned all the dust.
i have installed this card on another computer and also a new install of WINDOWS but the problem remains.
in direct draw all tests goes well (single chip only, fastest performance, 2xfsaa and 4xfsaa).
what i don´t understand is why d3d tests runs fins with 4xfsaa if one gpu is fried (but with that strange patterns and vertical lines across the screen).
do you know where i can get a schematich diagram of this card?



thank´s
