I am having problems getting drivers for the audio and video. Windows just shows a question mark by each...multimedia audio controller, video controller (VGA compatible).. I am running XP pro, I bought the computer from a person who said it had been a custom build. I did a clean install of XP right after I bought it and wiped out the drivers. Now I cant get the computer to recognize these devices. I will post whatever info you need...im just not sure what to post.
You need to download the drivers from which ever site (if you have a ATi graphics card, then get the drivers from the AMD site, etc). All you have to do it download them and install them like any other program, they're real simple. What are your specs so I can get some links?
Motherboard: CPU Type Intel Pentium 4, 3066 MHz (23 x 133) Motherboard Name Unknown Motherboard Chipset Intel Brookdale i845PE System Memory 1024 MB (DDR SDRAM) BIOS Type AMI (10/14/03) Communication Port Printer Port (LPT1) Display: Video Adapter ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 (M9) 3D Accelerator ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 (M9) Multimedia: Audio Adapter Intel 82801DB ICH4 - AC'97 Audio Controller [B-0] Storage:
video link http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/xp/radeon-prer300-xp.html info of make & model# is printed on the circuit board itself not the chips.
Motherboard name is unknown but this number is the motherboard ID. I dont know if that will help. 63-0100-000001-00101111-101403-i845$1ABHI016
Last night I downloaded the Realtek AC97 audio drivers and uninstalled the audio device...then I reinstalled and it worked fine. So I just have to get my video up and running now. I have been unable to identify the motherboard thus far. Any other suggestions would be helpful.
