Check the system and application events log, could be some clues there.

... probably, but what are your other components? is this a trustworthy PSU brand or ching chong special?

Hello GPU thread? I bought a new graphics card but it doesn't seem to fit into my new Ryzen System, the seller guranteed me it is "top notch" though. I think it's missing heatsinks?!
The one of my previous system doesn't fit anymore either, maybe I can buy an adapter?
I'm kinda stumped right now.

I'm actually curious if you could get it to work with that on a modern system. Linux might still have drivers for Hercules cards.

That era was far more interesting and exciting. I like watching some of these vids about ancient 3DFX cards and the sort, although they get boring after a while.
Those 2 chips are an example of very early SLI, I believe. 3DFX were having a really hard time competing after Voodoo 2. Is that a Voodoo 5?

possibly but have my doubts about via that adapter. Also I remember a big restructure of that whole GPU part some years ago, while the drivers are indeed still in there now, I don't think anyone has tested them in ages. How many systems people still actively run Linux on have ISA graphics cards?
Yes. Early GPUs in general were somehow more interesting because they all tried different stuff, although many ending up in dead ends.

The Voodoo 2's were the origin of the term SLI, but they very different compared to Nvidia SLI and AMD Crossfire.

Old graphics/video stuff was always fascinating for me in general, analog video. Absolutely zero relevancy today. Of course it's better to have digital everything, yet still...
Ok I'm done spamming. Just was doing some inventory of the crap I accumulated and thought people might get a kick out of the Voodoo 5.

since you're serious: the least you can do is make a pcpartpicker list and check compatibility. and read the reviewsamd 5600

Nice! Everyone knows this by now but it's still amusing that Dana Carvey's brother created the Video Toaster. It (different models ofc) was widely used for SD video productions including broadcast and well into the 2000's there were local TV-stations all over the world running video toaster on Amigas for broadcast of things like local news. If it ain't broke, don't fuck with it!
If you've heard streamers/podcasts complain about the TriCaster that's their(NewTech's) HD successor (as far as I know).

That card I posted I got from a mexican TV station. I also have a Video Toaster 4000 somewhere around here.
These weren't that big here in europe as they're for NTSC systems. There's potentiometers on the board you can use for fine adjusting and a while ago I tried and PAL is just too far out for the circuit. if I remember correctly jumpering a more modern Angus to NTSC operation wasn't good enough either, I needed to replace the systems' crystal with an 28.63636 Mhz one to make a proper NTSC system out of it. You also need 8 MB of RAM and at least a 020 for the software IIRC.
The upside of the Amiga for video systems like this was that it could derive an internal sync signal directly from it's power supply and the power networks' frequency. That made the Amiga's internal video stuff rock solid for genlocking on the cheap. What many people don't know is that you could also feed an external clock into the Amiga via the video port to sync up all your broadcasting equipment perfectly. Yes, just like that, adjust the entire Amiga a little to fit. The Amiga fundamentally was a computer built around analog video. It's a pity so many young people just understand it as sort of a games console. I also have a Kitchen Sync and a TBC IV card to go with this Toaster, though, if I ever feel like building a 80s-early 90s professional broadcasting studio on a tight budget.
There's also the OpalVision which was meant to be The PAL toaster killer but it never truly got there. I played hours with that card's paint software. It had an interesting feature where there was a palette on the bottom where you could mix the colors to make new ones for painting, just like the palette of a real painter. An interesting example how early UIs tried to emulate things people knew from the real world, to make the transition to the digital less harsh.

What's the deal with curved monitors? Are they good, or shit? I haven't ever sat in front of one so I have no idea.
