Software way to find different parts of the computer?

Is there a program that can let me find out for example, the mobo or the PSU of my computer without opening it?

 

All electronically tagged components (CPU, Disk drives, Motherboard, Sound and Video cards) can be picked up by programs such as everest, and most can be found in the device manager. The ones you can't find are the brands of your fans, your cables and your power supply, since there's no means of telling windows what they are inside. Why not just look yourself!

 

ddp - done and done.

sammoris - i can't open my computer and look it up myself because my dad says it'll void my warrenty.

Ok it all started like this:

Me and my dad bought me a computer for my barmitzva. Every small part of the computer was perfect. Good processor, good ram, lots of memory, and it's also a great HTPC. The only part which sucks about the computer is, as you know... the graphics card. 7350 LE. So, i wanted to upgrade it, but my dad had a different plan. He says that we should wait a few months and see what new deals they have on computers there so we could replace my computer for a newer better one while just paying a few more hundered dollars. I didn't like that plan because i already have more then 200 GB worth of games and stuff. And my dad wants me to back it all up to DVDs... ._. I'll need like a 20 DVDs >_>. So, i kinda wanna stick with the upgrading my graphics card part. So, i wanted to check if i can upgrade my graphics card, since i don't know if my mobo would be compatible, and if my PSU is compatible.

Long story.

EDIT - Motherboard.

You wouldn't be able to find out without opening the case I'm afraid.

I don't know if i should stick to my plan or go with my dad's plan.

 

In my experience, the power supplies of premade PCs are very unlikely to be able to support higher powered graphics cards without causing problems. You would probably need to upgrade the power supply, which will void the warranty, even if opening the case doesn't.

 

I don't think opening your case should void your warranty.

 

It's an HP computer. Prebuilt. Bought at Costco. I'm sorry i bought my computer from them because it's a bundle and if i want to return it i gotta pack my monitor and everything up.
Crappy Costco.

Anyway, how cxan i find my model number? and make number?

 

It should be on a sticker on the top towards the back. If it's not there look around on the case you'll find it.

 

If you don't see a sticker, you can probably find info from either documentation, sales receipt, or on the box for it. If you've not got any of those, you might be able to find the type of your system in your windows computer name, unless you've changed it.

 

K i got it.

These stats are incorrect. It says i have an Intel GMA. When in fact i have a GEForce 7350 LE.

 

Well you probably have the onboard anyway, but your PC still comes with a video card.

 

Indeed, those are the motherboard specs, not those of the whole PC.

 

It seems you have a PCI-E 16x slot so you can just get a new video card and stick it in there. Be sure you get a PCI-E video card, most card are PCI-E these days anyway so it shouldn't be too difficult.
