Unique problem with Voodoo5 Mac
26.10.03 at 12:00:18
 
Hi !

I have got a Voodoo5 5500 Mac and have flashed it with the BIos of an Voodoo5 5500 PCi Bios. I think the bios number is 1,16.

But i can't see nothing in my screen. The pc starts as usual, with the bios screen, than welcome screen of dell and after also this Windows load screen:

...

But after that , there is no picture ! the picture remains black for 3 minutes and than this screen is showing for 10 seconds, than again nothing.. :

...

Is it normal ? How can i solve this problem !

my system

Dell 4550
Intel i845pe chipsatz; p4 2,66; 256mb ; 120 gb; windows xp pro inkls SP 1.

Thanks for all ideas and helps

Try safe mode 16 colours 640*480 and see if it has the same effect?

Are you sure you flashed it with the right BIOS?

-edit: Also what card was installed previously?  Did you remove it's drivers before installing the Voodoo5?

These photos was taken , after i formatted my pc.

How can i start with 16 color and 640x480 mode by Windows Xp ?

just something , i have realized today; one of the Vsa-100 chipsets( the one , which is near to the VGA connector) gets very hot, so i burn my fingers in 6 sec !! The other one is normal hot.

Is this normal ?

I don't think ( and hope) that the card is demaged, defect , or ?

thanks for answer

PS I think i have flashed correctly here is a photo of the action( sorry for bad quality)
