    How to determine motherboard?

    I'm having a hell of a time here trying to get my on-board sound card working, and also my modem which is a PCI card. The problem I have is that I'm not sure what type of mother board I have. I do believe it's an MSI brand, but not entirely sure.

    So I go to the MSI web site to search for drivers and it asks me what type of mother board I have. Is there a way to determine this without pulling the moterboard out of my PC?

    Pay good attention when booting. At the point where you can enter the BIOS, you should be able to see something. Maybe it is written somewhere in the BIOS screen

    Open the case up and look for it usually written on the mobo. Google some numbers if not sure until you get a piccie of it.
    I use Microsoft Visual Basic 2005. (Therefore, most code samples I provide will be based around the .NET Framework v2.0, unless otherwise specified)

    Have you installed your drivers or ran the inf updater?
    Anyway, you should be able to see the motherboard indent. without removing the whole thing.
