A motherboard is a complex printed circuit board that contains all the essential elements of a computer. In addition, various additional modules are installed on it: sound card, video card, etc. Often information about the motherboard model is needed to install drivers, and the easiest way to get it is to study the documentation for your personal computer. In the absence of this documentation, there are several options for solving this problem.
Necessary
- - Computer with Windows OS;
- - Everest program;
- - BIOS Agent program.
Instructions
Step 1
A simple and reliable way to find out the brand of a motherboard is a partial disassembly of a personal computer. Remove the side cover and inspect the system board for any factory labels. Typically, the description of the model is in the very center of it or can be shifted to the slots with RAM.
Step 2
The second method is also quite simple, but not every motherboard supports it. When the computer boots after turning on, a description of its model will appear on the first or second picture.
Step 3
The third way is to use software. That is, if the Windows operating system is installed on the computer, then you must use the Everest program. The purpose of this program is to analyze the configuration of a computer and obtain information about its components. Download the app from the internet. Install it on your computer.
Step 4
Run the program. After loading it in the "Motherboard" tab, click on the "Motherboard" section. The monitor screen will display complete information about your motherboard.
Step 5
This method can only be used by experienced PC users. The method consists in obtaining information using the BIOS Agent program. This will require some knowledge of working with this program.
Step 6
In order to find out the data of the motherboard, you must perform the following steps. Start the BIOS Agent program. After downloading it, click Get BIOS Info, then Save results.
Step 7
After completing these steps, a text document will be created that will contain all the necessary information. To get more accurate information, you will need to indicate the number of ISA, processor slots, PCI and memory slots that are located on the motherboard.
