I'm not surprised - I had a K6-2 when I started playing with LFS,
but the chipset died around 2003. These mobos were sold as a
cheaper alternative to intel, so even in the days when hardware was
expected to last for a few years the items were built down to a price.
Much as it might hurt, my advice is to give up on it.
If it makes you feel any better, I recently trashed my i3
SandyBridge (from about 2012) because it was too slow compiling
BLFS and I hoped to reuse the case - until I discovered the case
on/off switch was hard-wired to the PSU instead of being on generic
connectors.
More generally, if a home-quality PC is older than, say, 5 years
then building BLFS packages becomes painfully slow : not because
modern CPUs are necessarily faster (many are not), but because
memory speeds and disk I/O speeds have moved on. And most people
who develop software use recent machines and recent compilers.
So I'm sorry that your VGA card has died, but I suspect it has saved
you from a lot of pain.
