Re: Athlon 64 + windows 98 = Windows Protection Error
Posted on 2024-05-10, 14:33
What chipset / motherboard are you using? My Win98 box is an Athlon64 and I've had success with both VIA and NForce chipsets. The NForce is missing the PCI IRQ assignment stuff, so DOS sound compatibility isn't there. But there is possibility to have sound in DOS games via SB16 emu, if you have …

Caveat here is that the ALi ALaddin V chipset was notorious for compatibility issues with nVidia cards. Most were fixed by combination of BIOS and drivers. Be sure to upgrade BIOS to latest version before you start, install ALi chipset drivers (AGP miniport!) before installing nVidia drivers, and …
Re: CPU cooler for old Pentium

Remember Deskpro from Compaq with P200MMX and cooled by passive aluminium heatsink only, without fan. But that was a big piece of aluminum, with many thin ribs . If you have PPGA CPU, better use thermal grease between heatsink and heatspreader. Ceramic CPU was without grease or sometime with white …

On Compaq Deskpro EN SFF with i440BX and onboard ESS 1869 it is essential to turn off the onboard sound card via "Device security" for Audio (BIOS option), if you want use PCI soundcard. I dont know, if it is same with your machine, but you can check this.

Done. Solder joints all look ok just from eyeballing, but I know that's not always reliable. Wonder if there could be a short somewhere? If the card causes a short circuit, PSU protection will work. In this case, the propellers on the cooling fans briefly move after the PC is switched on and …

On the non-original, you have to measure where you have the individual wires for data, ground, Vcc and clock and sort the wires into a line accordingly to match the header connection - header wiring is in the manual, I marked it for you on the pics.
