V5 MAC - Desktop freezes!
06.03.06 at 18:43:12  
Hi!
I bought the v5 at an auction on ebay. This card came from usa yesterday. I put it into my computer and flashed it with the 1.18 bios at first. I used it as secondary card. After switching i cant believe my eyes: the desktop froze. As primary its the same problem. Then i thought it is a bios problem and flashed it back to 1.16. I tried it as primary again: the card works for ~10sec. After resizing a window the desktop froze again.
Does somebody have an idea? I'm very thankful for advices!!!

Are both of the cooling fans spinning efficiently?

Could be overheating...

Also, what are your system specs?

Mainboard? RAM? CPU? O.S.?

Please give more info...

thx for all advices!! i know the problem know, its the asrock k7s8xe motherboard. it doesnt have a good compatibility with the v5 mac. in my old k7sv5za elitegroup motherboard the voodoocard works perfectly. i also tried out UT99 with 3dfx glide -> the second gpu works too. strange that asrock has such compatibility problems with older cards.
