Title: Creative Voodoo 2 with Via Motherboard
Post by Robert17 on 09.10.10 at 22:57:42

Hi folks,

I'm trying to use a creative voodoo 2 board with a Via mainboard with Athlon 1300 CPU.

The board is an Abit KX7-333.

With the latest voodoo 2 drivers, once windows boots up, the disk activity continues for a few seconds, then the mouse locks, or I get green lines at the top of the screen, or the machine re-boots sometimes.

The card is known good as it works in an Intel 815 mainboard.

Any ideas appreciated :)

Robert.

are you using win9x? the latest dx7 v2 3dfx driver is known to lock up amd k7 based machines-you have to use either the dx7beta 3dfx driver,or amd k7 compatible 3rdparty drivers..

Ahh I was using the latest DX7 voodoo 2 drivers yes, wasn't aware there was an issue! I've gone back to the 1ghz Intel Pentium 3 board now though - but thanks for the info!
