On your first boot screen where it counts your ram and what not, write down the #'s on the bottom of the screen, consisting of a load of quite a few #'s, this will give u the model and manufacturer of your motherboard, if I could only remember the website that will match the #'s with which motherboard you have...there is a link or a search engine on windrivers here that should help you find the page...Wim's BIOS page was the name of the one I use to use...try it out.

well sir i cant tell you what to do but i can sure tell ya what not to do.don't try it until your sure it's that 373 or what ever.and then go back and double check yourself. and when your sure make a copy of that original bios before you flash it so you don't end up like me lookin at a black screen.just a thought.
