I came to seek advice from any 90s computer enthusiasts that may be here. A few months ago I cleaned up and started using a computer from the late 90s (for old Windows and DOS games). Recently, I tried to install a Voodoo 3 3000 from eBay so I could play games like Half-Life and Unreal. When I go to boot into windows it either hangs at the windows 98 screen or tells me it restored system files and is rebooting (whereupon it re-enters the loop). The mobo is using the newest BIOS I could find. It worked fine with the GPU it had, but it's a pretty crappy one and I need more power to play 3D accelerated games. I did try a Pine SiS card I found for cheap, but it had similar problems. I also tried booting into safe mode and it does the same thing as booting Windows normally. I don't think it's a driver issue, because booting into safe mode doesn't help. The machine boots just fine with the original GPU in there. What can I do to remedy this issue?
The Specs:
CPU: AMD K6-2 (clocked at 500 Mhz I believe)
GPU: Graphics Blaster Exxtreme CT6610 trying to move over to a PCI VooDoo 3 3000
Motherboard: First International Computer VA-503+ Socket Super 7
P.S.: I can access command prompt from outside of Windows, I'm assuming this would help
