So at this step I'd switch to more conservative memory settings in BIOS and to install another release of VIA driver kit (are you using a Windows built-in driver or a by VIA build?).

I had installed via_hyperion_4in1_v456v.zip and just upgraded to via_hyperionpro_v524a.zip, in the device manager the system does show the via agp driver to be from via and not microsoft. In the bios I set the ram timing to cl 3. Even tried lowering the agp aperture size from 64m to 32m. I even updated my bios to the latest because it stated that one of the updates was agp compatibility. I tried enabling agp master 1 ws write and read as well. It still bluescreens with the exact same error.

Hello the system was listed in the previous post.

Not working...
My Voodoo 5 5500 AGP nor the Voodoo 5 5500 pci mac flashed for pc both do not work on a  Pentium 3 1400S (1.4ghz with 512kb cache) with 512mb sd ram (2x256mb CL2 133mhz) and my Motherboard is Soltek SL-65KV2-CT
Apollo Pro 133A Northbridge via VT82C694T & Southbridge Via Vt82C686b

Working...
The Voodoo 5 5500 pci worked on the Tyan S1854 Trinity 400 Motherboard with a Pentium 3 1ghz 512mb of sd ram 133mhz
Apollo Pro 133A Northbridge Via VT82C694X & Southbridge Via VT82C596B

I was able to get the 3dfx tools to run in xp. When installing it will fail to register the dlls. After a restart open a cmd window and run REGSVR32 "c:Progam Files3dfx Interactive3dfx ToolsToolsAdvTweak.dll" and do that for each dll so Color.dll, Feature.dll, LCD.dll, TVOut.dll

Okay I have tested the driver with my PCI card on a different motherboard and it works so far. I will have to test more. Its weird how it doesnt work with the one motherboard but does with the other. Both Via chipsets.

I have a voodoo 5 5500 AGP. I am trying to run this driver in Windows Xp sp3 32bit and with 1.9 it just bluescreens with 0x0...8E. I am currently using AmigaMerlin's Driver, V3.1-R11 instead.

I was able to get SFFT Alpha 47 to install but not the SFFT tools so couldnt figure out how to turn of Vsync. The tools just run at 100% CPU for me and nothing happens.

This is on a Pentium 3 1400S with 512mb sd ram (2x256mb CL2) and my Motherboard is Soltek SL-65KV2-CT so apollo pro 133a?

I do also have a mac voodoo 5 5500 PCI flashed for PC and a voodoo 3 3000. Come to think of it I wonder if my bios settings may be an issue. Anyone have any suggestions?

*edit* My card works fine in windows 98SE and with the AmigaMerlin's Driver in XP and 2000. I tried installing SFFT 1.9 drivers in Win2k. The installer states invalid win32 application but manually updating the driver to the SFFT 1.9 works to install the driver. HOWEVER after restarting the PC the computer just resets after the start up screen no BSOD like XP.

I have tried 1.6-1.8 as well all of them give the same bluescreen caused by 3dfxvsm.sys.

*another edit* I have tried the voodoo 3 3000 and the pci voodoo 5 5500. The other v5 bluescreens with sfft 1.9 but I am able to get the voodoo 3 3000 to work. So no idea what I am doing wrong.
