Welcome to the forums phil1

We need to know if this is a branded computer (like HP/Dell/etc), if so, whats the model number. If it isnt a branded pc, then could you please give us more information on it, like what vga/sound card, what motherboard etc.

You can download Everest Home Edition: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4181.html

It can give you many of the required details.

It used to be an Acer, however I updated with an AMI motherboard. I can give the string # 52-0323-001437-00101111-071595-000000
version 1.0
product name: M598LMR
Serial # 00000000
id utility 1.4
Hope this info will help you to help me resolve this problem...thanks

http://www.ami.com/contact/ You can contact them and they will
probably send you the install cd that came with that board. On
there sight they claim to be very proud of there boards, I believe
you may receive CD with no charge, or maybe shipping cost. :)

this board that you have is made by pc-chip google pchip and you will be able to get information that you need for sound and video or use everest home and it will give you that info too

As clauded has indicated, that is a PCChips board, you can put in the model and follow the links from here:

PCChips themselves aren't providing much support for boards this old. If you're using the on-board video, the video driver link sends you to the SIS website, look for 530 chip drivers.

If you have a video card fitted, the Everest report should identify it.
