Hello All, Not to long ago I bought a Voodoo 2 video card from Diamond which is the Monster 3d II. Everytime I launch a 3dfx enhanced game (including D3D) The screen freezes, but the computer is not, I can hear myself liftoff the gas, get back on it, do all functions blind folded, but the screen lucks up. I have no Idea on why this is happening. I have a overclocked 250mh p-mmx chip, asus txp4 mother board with the latest drivers, win95, and so on. All help is aprreciated. mark F.
Hello Mark, Did you connect the pass-through cable? I sounds like you're still looking at the output of your 2D card. Best Wishes, Scott

Yes, I have connected the cable from my old video card video output to the monster 2 card video input, and then the video output of my monster card to the monitor. To my knowledge, I dont have to do any wiring in side the computer. If your talking about some internal cable, I aint sure which one you are talking about because there is one connector for the double monster connection but i probably cant use it with my stealth 3d 3000 pro. >Hello Mark, >Did you connect the pass-through cable?

I would try setting your motherboard to it's normal bus speed and then try it. Anytime you overclock you are taking a chance that things won't work properly. >Hello All, > Not to long ago I bought a Voodoo 2 video card from Diamond which is the

Overclocking to 250MHz probably means you have your bus going at 83.3 MHz. Try not overclocking and see if you get the same problem. /Christer -- http://home4.swipnet.se/~w-41236/ (Read all about the "Global online racing"-proposal under "For developers".
