Mediator a4k Voodoo5 driver crashing?
« on: May 26, 2008, 11:36:37 AM »
Hi,

I've been having issues with the voodoo5 card in the a4k for a while now, the drivers seem to crash, giving gfx corruption and essentially making it irrecoverable, this usually happens after a few hours, even doing nothing, sometimes the voodoo comes up again after a reboot, has anyone else had similar experiences?

It happened again, just powering off wont do, if i pull the cord and leave it out for a minute, and stuff it back in, power up, then it works fine for a few more hours, anyway, im hoping elbox can track down the issue, i hope its not the card :S

Edit, it seems to be heat related, it just happened again, 5 minutes after getting it up

All fans are spinning, but im wondering if the mediator pci module is giving off some heat right into the voodoo.
