system is as follows
A3000D, 3.1roms, acard scsi2ide bridge, 4GB CF card on ide2CF adapter, A3640 CPU, 1Mb onboard fastram (zip chips), 2Mb chipram. Rev 11 buster. IndivisionECS. coclino PS2 mouse adapter.
zorro cards bottom to top, ZorRam256, CV64/3D, kickflash, AriadneII.
OS3.1 base install upgraded to 3.9. BB1, BB2 and unofficial BB3 + BB4 installed
ever since plugging in the CV64/3D (DCE version), i get random lockups and crashes. after installing the Cybergraphix software (4.1r4? i think), everything looks fine when it's running, but as soon as i test a graphics card screen, i get a full crash. it has to do the double reboot to load the OS3.9rom modules again - as i've disabled the kickflash...
also the cybergraphix video modes don't show up in screenmode prefs, even after double clicking the monitor. so far i've set the graphics modes in cgxmode prefs to be 60hz vesa standard modes, to drive an LCD panel.
what should i do? my inital thoughts are:-
1. change the slot the GFX card is in
2. remove all cards except the GFX card
3. re-install OS, starting with 3.1 and seeing if the GFX card works on a 3.1 base install?
4. power problems? surely a 180W PSU can cope?
i don't know. my amiga fire has died a little bit of late. when it's all working, it's great, but then one little extra thing gets added to the mix and seems to break everything. and lead to frustration and annoyance. all thoughts and ideas welcome...
