How to identify a motherboard?

[Jose]

Thank you all for your very helpful advises.

I finally found the info and am downloading the drivers now.

Thank you again !!

What?! No pictures?! No explanation of how you figured it out?!

MSI uses alot of red color in its Motherboard and Video cards

If you have the system up and running go to here

Yes indeed, when system is up & running....-

"Chrisjoy" > It looks like something MSI would make for OEM market.

That'd be my guess as well, without any additional information.

There must be some data on the motherboard.
Any digits, letters would help significantly to
identify this mo/bo.

I've never seen a maker brand on a mobo, just a board number like G56PTV
or such crap, Uusually near
pci slot 1.

You've dealt with the wrong motherboards then. Both my A7V333 and
M2NE-SLi have "ASUS" on them.

You can download the baseboard class from wmi. A sample code is available at
http://www.4shared.com/file/103946799/a8c31372/Win32_BaseBoard.html

Download the text file, rename the extension to .vbs. dowble click the file
to execute and it will pull the information that you need.

There used to be a web site called "PCChips Lottery" and it
existed because of the lack of markings on their motherboards.
So it is possible to find motherboards which are hard to identify.
I worked with someone once, who had one of those, and it was
absolutely devoid of markings.

This is an archive of the old "PCChips Lottery" site. The archived copy
may not be fully functional.
