    Angry Hewlett packard mobo

    I have an HP pavilion 6545c desktop system that has integrated AGP video. I am getting no display from the onboard video, so I went out an bought a PCI video card since there are no AGP slots. The PCI video card is not giving me a signal either, so I thought that there was a jumper or something.
    I call up HP and they can't tell me anything positive about who made the motherboard, only that there are no jumpers to disable the onboard video. The mobo has 3 pci slots, socket 370 intel celeron-500mhz, intel 810 chipset. I found these two sets of characters on the board, but none have given me any luck so far:
    9amt302840
    and ms19a1226-m6p675-bo4-04634

    I've reached the end of my rope with this thing already. Any help would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance...

    Don't know if this will help but you might have this motherboard:

    <a href="http://www.asus.com.tw/mb/socket370/cuwe/overview.htm" target="_blank">http://www.asus.com.tw/mb/socket370/cuwe/overview.htm</a>

    Asus CUWE

    3 PCI slots..onboard video (i810)..jumper free (hence there are no jumpers, and HP is using a custom BIOS to prevent any major settings changes)..no AGP...HP uses Asus a lot so I'd tend to think this would be an Asus board.

    Sorry if it can't help much but you said anything would be appreciated

    Thank you for your contribution JM, but I wasn't able to download the manual because of dead links. I'm going to try to remove the CMOS battery for a couple of minutes and hook it back up to see if that does anything.

    The links are fine; the problem is that IE doesn't like to handle FTP sites very well, so you'll have to log in with a regular FTP client.

    Uhh ok that avatar is publicly available

    That means you have to use a regular FTP client like Leap FTP or WS_FTP to download the files...

    Well, its official, there's no way to use the PCI card that I bought without booting into windows. I'm just gonna buy a new mobo since I was able to find all the specs. Thanks Jungleman.

    Beware that HP uses proprietary parts. Anyone know if their PSUs are proprietary? If not, a little case modding should be all it might take, not sure though. Too bad there's no warranty..

    Good luck

    If your lucky , you can get away with buying a good micro ATX board WITHOUT onboard video and sound, then exchange that PCI card for a good AGP card and then get a good sound card
    You may want to get a good enermax PSU as well , IF HP used a standard sized unit in there
    Yup this is a good time to upgrade the system

    Agree with that but if you're going for an Epox mATX (they are the only ones I know of who make a mATX KT266a board) don't get that Enermax! Epox is a great board maker and enermax makes great power supplies but the two don't like each other.

    I think this guys mobo is Intel based so there are some choices for him
    I would recomend that he check Asus' website for a good Micro ATX board
    Just avoid the onbaord video and sound or make sure there is an AGP slot
    Try for a Micro ATX version of the TUSL-c , That would make a good home for your Intel CPU
