| I am trying to use a voodoo 5 5500 in a PCCHIPS M811 motherboard, and I cannot get it to boot past the summary screen, right before it SHOULD start windows. I just swapped out my x1600 to try it out, and it's not booting at all. I have it set to agp 2x, with video bios shadowing disabled, with 512mb of 266mb ddr memory, and a 333mhz FSB 2600+ running at 1.5 ghz (2000+, 266 mhz FSB). I have windows 2003 server installed. Anyone have any ideas? |

I don't think it's a voodoo5 Problem.
Try to load the bios with default settings.
It may be a problem with the boot device setting also.
Did u get an error message?

No, I have the boot devices set the same (hdd 0 first), and there is no error message. It just sits there at the summary screen forever. I've noticed the same thing is happening with my voodoo 3 3000. They're both agp... Odd, because my x1600 is still working fine in it.  |

Ok, I hadn't done it yet because I was backing up everything on it... I am going to reformat soon because of 2k3 doing wonky things. I'll edit this with the results.
EDIT: No change whatsoever. The failsafe settings didn't even change a thing, except disabling my integrated network card. |

if you have a digital cam, capture the bios screen where the AGP options are
i say, where u set the aperture size, rate, sideband addressing, fastwrites, etc---
so, we can see and tell the "best" config.

Well, I don't need the "best" config, just one that will allow it to boot while the voodoo 5 is installed. I'll do a few screenies with my camera anyway though. I'll edit with the pics.
Here's a download link; I can't remember my imageshack password: ftp://technik733.no-ip.com/bios_settings.zip
Sorry for the low resolution and quality, I used a webcam.
Also, these are the settings with my x1600 in it (I only change the agp aperture size and agp speed when I put the 5500 in), and I put the agp 2x back to 4x after taking the screenshot. |

Pcchips website is presently down.
Ehm, you're underclocking a cpu, maybe this is the problem. (?) |

| Well I can Overclock the motherboard almost to the cpu's specs, but the meter doesn't go over 165mhz. And that causes memory issues. =/ It's always worked fine for me at 133fsb. |

Ok, I've just tried both my 5500 and my 3000 in another computer (an old p3 that supports agp pro) and they are both fully functional. I also have a shot of the screen that the computer freezes at with either of the voodoos installed: ftp://technik733.no-ip.com/freeze.JPG
This means it must be a memory, bios, motherboard, or cpu problem. I'm going to try different memory stick in it... just for kicks. If that doesn't help, then I guess I'll be trying a better mobo. I've been thinking about getting a kt333 because they're supposed to be compatible with voodoos. =/
EDIT: Woah... don't even remember what happened with this. My setup I have now is working relatively well though. |

Voodoo 5500 Boot Problems...
