You wouldn't by any chance have a massivly overclocked BPPC board???

[nasty]

Nope it's as standard as the day it left the factory!

[keropi]

did u check the psu??? or perhaps the rtg card is way too hot...

[nasty]

I just fitted a second fan to the card over the 060 processor, and so far 5 Min's have passed on payback and it's still working no freeze yet so maybe the card was getting to hot!

Doesn't say much since DCE sold overclocked PPC board (160 MHz boards sold as 210 MHz boards).

Anyway, my guess would have been overheating because of overclocking, but apparently you fixed it already :-)

set WOSPrefs mem protection to 0.

And in BPPC Early bootmenu>RAM "waitstates ON" at least for PPC.

EDIT ahh and update WOS to 5.1

Since I added the second fan to the card it seems to be running fine now. Which is rather strange, guess the first one was'nt up to the job!  so thank you for the help people and the advice! I'll be updating in afew :-D

Ok I needed to do a complete format and clean install today (cant find backup cd). So I installed everything like the guide above and everything seemed to go well until i try to run the warp demo gears, all I get is the screen flashes yellow and then sometimes i get a solid yellow screen and then a pc exception error. Does anyone know what would cause this I have removed the warp 3000/4000 drivers and that still doesnt help and this is the 5th time ive done a fresh install today.

[ddniUK]

IRC, there are mmu and nommu versions of the mediator HW drivers. BOTH sets are installed by the installer. You can only have one set installed. One must be removed after installation.

if you have reinstalled OS3.9 from the original CD, maybe is on e these issues:
