there could be a bunch of things

- IRQ conflict with another card (some don't like to share no matter what
PCI/AGP spec says)
  Voodoo2 uses no IRQ
- Bad Driver install/hosed driver install. Boot in safe mode and remnove all
reference to V3
  (sometimes you nnedd to diddle the reg manually) then set the primary
display to 'standard vga'
power down, and install the v3.

- Have you tried running it with the V3 and the -nonetwork - nosound
switches ?
these will help you determine if it is some kind of conflict.
