so, every screen after the first 1024x768/15bit screen has artifacts. its not related to the bvision. its not related to the memory on the ppc. its not related to the motherboard. its not related to software. its not related to any other on-board component. how can it be anything else than the ppc board itself? and if thats the case, which specific component is probably at fault here? Stachu? Delshay? ..is this something that is cured with a new 300mhz 603?


Ah, Franken-Amigas! I chased a 'Ramlib error' problem around like this for months, only to eventually realise that the physical structure of the Power-tower was slightly kinked, which 'bowed' the motherboard slightly when it was tightly screwed in causing the error. Somehow.

Silly questions:
1) You've listed every component except the psu, hard-drive/cable, CD/cable and floppy/cable. Have you tried others?
2) Have you tried it in a different plug socket in the house (silly, I know) just in case something is a bit iffy in the wiring department, or causing severe groundplane intereference.
