Rest in peace, Rudolph.

Overheating?

Have some news... Very bad news. I try trace and debug Windows loading process in softice. I found, that machine always crash on address c000:ffff, executing random instruction from ff's or other bytes. It's see as if some int 10h interrupt function was called from vxd code, and wrong vbios code flow was executed, cause no return issue... But main problem that, even we find, what exactly code in vbios cause fault, and even if we can fix it, we can't do patch for vbios, because Pascal firmware is signed, and there is no known tools for modding...

What is "external WiFi modem"? I want pcie/mini-pcie/m.2 as preferred, and usb3 as second chance...

It possible? That is exists?

I "try Tihiy's SVGA patch in safe mode"... Now machine do reboot when load vddsvga.386. Ie, again, problem appear when loading VDD modules. Why? What these modules do such horrible?

No, I don't use dblbuff in 31 nor 9x. And before installing 1070 both os was work good

Ok, i just mixed XGA and 8514/a... Anyway, XGA is not run. As with VGA and modded SVGA - i just see garbaged 3.1 logo and immediate after this - blinking cursor on black screen. if i try WIN : (run w/o logo) then i get just blinking cursor, w/o any vmode switching. ie all look exactly as VDD* initialization problem.

Win31 in protected mode, likely, also cant run... show garbaged logo, then fall in dos... instead decktop. yes, i limit memory to 128 MB before run Win31... which ur card vendor and model? my is Palit GTX 1070 Super Jetstream... can u dump ur VBIOS from C000?

It is strange. My machine is exactly that, as on previous years - core i7 3770, 8 Gbytes ram. I just add gtx 1070 yesterday...

Hmm... 640 x 480 x 4 bpp - it is VGA. XGA is 1024 x 768 x 8 bpp - very old IBM vc. Are u sure, that talk about XGA?

also, win31 in standard mode work ok with own vga.drv.

No, and i think, this cant help - i try just remove vga.drv/vgafull.3gr/vbemp.drv/vbe.vxd from system folder, and see no diff-es. ie, machine crashed exactly in vdd.vxd module, before loading any video *.drv. also, win2k with own standard vga.sys work ok, but vbempnt - not, have code 10. also, this card not support any CGA/EGA graphics modes. only support VGA 640x480 x4 bits, MCGA 320x200 x8 bits, and vesa svga 640x480+ x8/16/32 bits. ie, Alley Cat game, for sample, here is not run... here is some technical details about card: Video Monitor Vendor: BenQ Monitor Model: BenQ BL2411 (BNQ 8011) Video Chip Vendor: Nvidia Corp Video Chip: Unknown Device VESA OEM String: NVIDIA Video Memory Size: 16 MB +-----------------------------------------+ | PCI/AGP Devices | +-----------------------------------------+ PCI/AGP PCI Bus Version: 3.0 Number of PCI Buses: 6 Bus: 01h, Device: 00h, Function: 00h Vendor (10DEh): Nvidia Corp Device (1B81h): Unknown Device Subsys Vendor (10DEh): Nvidia Corp Subsystem ID (1B81h): Unknown Class (03h): Display SubClass (00h): VGA Revision: A1h Interface: 00h Device Properties Device Timing: Fast Memory Access: [X] I/O Access: [X] Bus Master: [X] 66 MHz Speed Support: [ ] Device Resources ROM Address: F7000000h Memory Address: F6000000h - F6FFFFFFh Memory Address: E0000000h - EFFFFFFFh Memory Address: F0000000h - F1FFFFFFh Base I/O Port: 0000E000h - 0000E07Fh System IRQ: 11 Interrupt Pin: INTA# PCI-E Capabilities PCI Express Version: 2.0 Device/Port Type: Legacy PCI-E Endpoint Link Speed: 8.0 GB/s (Current: 2.5 GB/s) Link Width: x16 (Current: x16) Link Port Number: 0 Physical Slot Number: 0 Bus: 01h, Device: 00h, Function: 01h Vendor (10DEh): Nvidia Corp Device (10F0h): Unknown Device Subsys Vendor (10DEh): Nvidia Corp Subsystem ID (1B81h): Unknown Class (04h): Multimedia SubClass (03h): Hi-definition Audio Revision: A1h Interface: 00h Device Properties Device Timing: Fast Memory Access: [X] I/O Access: [ ] Bus Master: [X] 66 MHz Speed Support: [ ] Device Resources Memory Address: F7080000h - F7083FFFh System IRQ: 10 Interrupt Pin: INTB# PCI-E Capabilities PCI Express Version: 2.0 Device/Port Type: PCI-E Endpoint Link Speed: 8.0 GB/s (Current: 2.5 GB/s) Link Width: x16 (Current: x16) Link Port Number: 0 Physical Slot Number: 0 +-----------------------------------------+ | Video | +-----------------------------------------+ Video Video Chip Vendor: Nvidia Corp Video Chip: Unknown Device Subsystem Vendor: Nvidia Corp Video Memory Size: 16 MB Bus Type: PCI-E VESA OEM String: NVIDIA VESA Version: 3.0 Vendor Name: NVIDIA Corporation Product Name: BIOS-P/N@N11313 Chip Rev OEM Software Version: 134.4 VESA Power Management VESA PM Version: 1.0 Standby: [X] Suspend: [X] Off: [X] Reduced On: [ ] PCI-E Capabilities PCI Express Version: 2.0 Device/Port Type: Legacy PCI-E Endpoint Link Speed: 8.0 GB/s (Current: 2.5 GB/s) Link Width: x16 (Current: x16) Link Port Number: 0 Physical Slot Number: 0 VESA Modes Number | Mode |Resolution|Colors| bpp| Features -------+-------+----------+------+----+---------- 101h | Graph | 640x480| 256| 8| Bank + LFB 103h | Graph | 800x600| 256| 8| Bank + LFB 105h | Graph | 1024x768| 256| 8| Bank + LFB 107h | Graph | 1280x1024| 256| 8| Bank + LFB 111h | Graph | 640x480| 64k| 16| Bank + LFB 112h | Graph | 640x480| 16M| 32| Bank + LFB 114h | Graph | 800x600| 64k| 16| Bank + LFB 115h | Graph | 800x600| 16M| 32| Bank + LFB 117h | Graph | 1024x768| 64k| 16| Bank + LFB 118h | Graph | 1024x768| 16M| 32| Bank + LFB 11Ah | Graph | 1280x1024| 64k| 16| Bank + LFB 11Bh | Graph | 1280x1024| 16M| 32| Bank + LFB 145h | Graph | 1600x1200| 256| 8| Bank + LFB 146h | Graph | 1600x1200| 64k| 16| Bank + LFB 14Ah | Graph | 1600x1200| 16M| 32| Bank + LFB 14Bh | Graph | 1920x1200| 256| 8| Bank + LFB 14Ch | Graph | 1920x1200| 64k| 16| Bank + LFB 14Dh | Graph | 1920x1200| 16M| 32| Bank + LFB

Yes. It is all. The End. The Great End. No graphics. Just text message on black screen of death. Even with standard VGA driver. Even in safe mode. Have any ideas?

Your router must be support also 2.4 Ghz b/g standards. Buy or find any old b/g pci WiFi card with real drivers for 9X. This give u up to 54 mbit/sec connect. After this, ask me for Odyssey supplicant for 9X...
