PPC Problem
« on: May 04, 2007, 11:25:24 PM »
Anyone know why my PPC all of a sudden is showing up as 0 (zero) Mhz?  :<  It can't be a cooling problem (I have two 12v fans blowing right on top of it + massive heatsink).  Can this be fixed or is my PPC dead?  Maybe just the oscillator just went dead for no reason?  Here is the output from whichamiga:

I had that jumper open and I closed it like you suggested.  No dice so far..  I'm fiddling with WarpOS settings to see if anything there might be afu.

The demo crashes my machine.  I can run, for example, Imagine 5.17, and it can "detect" the PPC in the "about.." requester. But thats as far as I get.  As soon as I try to do a render that actually uses the PPC, it crashes.  Same with Hollywood, AmigawriterPPC, MoovidPPC, Fantastic Dreams..  Not sure what happened.. Either way, this sucks.

pparently it isn't dead after all!  This is the output from various tools provided with WarpOS (warpstate, showinfo, stat, etc..).  Everything here is saying the PPC is ok.. at least I think so?  BTW, my PPC applications started working after I typed "dcon".  The only "problem" I'm having now is with whichamiga.  It still shows only the 68060, no PPC.  Why would that be?  Also, scout crashes when I query the "system" button so I'm not able to tell whether Scout sees the PPC side or not.
