Old Mobo No-Go

Old Mobo No-Go and Mystery-OS-o

At one time, I'm sure this would have been good system to have. Now, it just keeps me busy... maybe too busy

Motherboard:
VIA Apollo MVP3 AGP Chipset 66/100 MHz Front Side Bus
(VT82C598 north bridge) chipset
BIOS String: 08/02/99-MVP3-586B-ITE86-2A5LEH2BC-00
AMD K-2 500Mhz processor
256Mb RAM

Here is the info on the PCI card:

MATROX 644-00 REV: A
EAF50692 - serial number?

two white stickers on the card:
MGA-MYST/4SYS
MGI-MYST/4SYS

I've been on a friend's computer, or at the public library, trying to track down a resolution to the no-boot situation. So far, I've made no progress.

The Windows 98 (second edition) OS isn't helping, either.

The Original Version of Win98 ran for a while, then I bought a motherboard (Shuttle HOT-591P) and "upgraded" to Windows98 Second Edition.

I keep getting a "fatal error", so that I can't load Windows 98 SE.
Is this a conflict with Matrox?

This old Mystique card is "glitching"...

The error message:

windows
an exception OE has occured at
0028:C003B361 in VXD VPICD(01) + 0000039
this was called from
0028:C003B2C4 in VXD VPICD(01) + 0000099C

All other attempts produce similar results.


I'm ready to go buy a new card, but I would rather just make this work with this old computer, like it used to.

I probably just need a different driver.

Help me fix this "dinosaur" please. Thanks.

Has it ever occurred to you to replace that battery?

Could this be a Shuttle board 'HOT-591P' ?
