OR your cyberstorm is not powered properly/or connected! My Blizzard + Mediator is super touchy with power.

I had the same ONCE.

Your have "issue" for sure... (I spend last few weeks playing with 100% PPC and I think I've seen "everything" already).


yeah I can confirm this. the symptoms you describe sound very familiar. I have an Elbox tower myself and the plug that powers the motherboard can lose connection over time resulting in all sorts of weird problems. The most noticeable is always that workbench backdrop picture that doesnt load.

I did replace the PSU for a new 450w version. also I had to add extra power to the motherboard via the floppy power connector. with all this in place, and a new set of caps, my system is finally stable! (twice a year it starts acting up again, then I have to reseat the Bvision, but thats about it)

If all fails you can always consider upgrading the ppc to something faster.
