You can find out which motherboard is installed in a computer or laptop in several ways. Usually you need to look at the information about the "motherboard" when you need to install it. In this article I will show you several ways with which you can accurately see information about your motherboard. So, let's begin...
1)
As it is not trivial, but the first thing is to look for a box from the "mother". If you collected a computer from the components, then it should be. It just shows the name and model:
The installation is simple, you will only need to accept the agreement with the developer and click "Next" for three pages. In one of them you can note whether you want a shortcut on the desktop that does not affect the application's experience. After installation, run it to start working with it.
The application has several tabs with detailed information for each component. You can navigate through the various tabs to find out the other components of your computer. If you want to add functionality to your computer, it's best to check in advance that they are compatible with your motherboard. In the way we explain in detail.
2)
If there is no box and has long been lost, that is an option with other "spare parts" that can go together if you bought a system unit in the collection or a notebook. In particular, I mean the instruction itself or even the disks. They also eat the name:
It is very light, and once you have it installed on your computer, you will have a launchpad similar to the one you see in the image. In principle, you do not need to make any special settings for proper operation. In any case, if you need it, click the "Settings" button.
Visual inspection of the motherboard
When the program finishes performing the analysis to find out the plaque model of your computer, the task, which takes only 5 seconds, you will get a series of windows as a result, as you can see in the image. To get the information you need, on the computer board model, just click on the menu on the left, on the "Motherboard", the English word referring to the motherboard, which is also known in Spanish as the main board. By clicking, you get a summary of the most relevant data pertaining to the plate, including the model highlighted in the image.
3)
If everything is completely wrong with instructions, disks and a box, then there remains the last "physical" option to look at the model of the motherboard - this is to open the system unit. Certainly this method is more suitable for "system specialists", but the laptop can also be disassembled. Here only you will collect then ... However the fact remains the fact. Manufacturers on all motherboards write the name of their product:
But the program not only gives you this information about the motherboard. If you are displaying a vertical menu item, you can get very detailed information about the elements that are built into the system board of your computer, for example, internal and external connectors, etc. all of them are the basic elements for the proper functioning of your equipment, and it can be very useful to get information from them in case you have problems with the computer or to avoid it.
Determine the model of the motherboard
Labels boxes with box labels provide the following information about the product. Plate model Serial number. . Label shortcut. They can vary depending on their location, but they have the same format. Board labels provide the following information about the product. An example of a board tag showing the board template.

If we decipher this line, then we display information about:
Product - Model
Manufacturer - Manufacturer
Version - Version
SerialNumber - Serial Number
How to find out which motherboard I have
You do not need to open the chassis for a visual inspection yourself. Screen information about the system. Find out what motherboard on your computer. Therefore it is very important that you do business. Whenever you can avoid this, it's best not to open the computer. There are several simple ways find out what kind of motherboard I have. The most common are the following.
How to determine the model of the motherboard by means of Windows
Thus, you can find out what my motherboard is, which allows you to improve your equipment. Well, there's nothing to be afraid of, because we will point out step by step how to do it without problems. If you need to move the computer for better access to the interior, first disconnect all cables. Now keep in mind that this system only works for your dessert. On a laptop you will have to act differently.
If something you do not need, you can simply not include the rows in the query. For example, if you simply learn about the manufacturer and the model (which is most often needed), then the line will be:
wmic baseboard get product, Manufacturer
5) Using special programs that are designed to collect information about the computer. I wrote about this for example in the article? or . There at the end of the articles I gave references to similar programs. For example, there are a lot of them in the article.
You can even just take advantage of free program CPU-Z () and on the necessary tab you will see your motherboard
Place it on its side so that the connectors on the back are close to the table. Most likely, it will catch on screws fastening the panel, easily unscrewing, although for the old ones you need a screwdriver. Find the model number of the motherboard. . This number is printed on the motherboard, but can also be seen elsewhere.
Probably, you see a lot of data printed on the motherboard, the model is the biggest. If you do not see the model, because the other components cover it, you have to disable the one that does not allow you to see and reconnect it once you're done. It can also happen that dust accumulates on the base plate, and you need to remove it to check the model.
Finally I want to note that I did not detail in detail about how to mono look at the information on the motherboard on the laptop. It is shown when you only include the "beech" and on the black boot screen below there is information. But I do not think that you will remember the necessary information so quickly and will sit with a piece of paper (and restarted because of this several times) when there are much easier ways to find out what kind of motherboard model you have installed.
The model number usually consists of a combination of numbers and letters, which usually consists of 5-7 digits. However complex and detailed it may be, it is always useful to know your computer and all its internal parts. The utility describes in detail all the characteristics of your computer, allowing you to obtain a variety of information about the components of your computer.
The application interface is divided into tabs, each of which corresponds to the main component of the analyzed computer. To generate it, go to the last tab and click one of the "Save Report" buttons. It works impressively simply, displaying only information that really matters in a friendly, minimalist interface.
Welcome to my blog!
Very often when you need to install drivers on your system, you ask yourself: "which model of the motherboard is installed in this computer?" This question can be relevant when the computer was collected in the store and after a while, you have already forgotten which motherboard you have installed , and the driver disk was successfully lost.
Or you bought a computer from your hands, which is often sold without drivers, again, in order to install them, you need to know what "motherboard" is inside the case.
Box labels Boxes of drawers contain the following information about the product. They may vary in your location, but are consistent in format. Table labels provide the following information about the product. A type plate with an inscription. Do not need to open the chassis to visually inspect it.
Open and see
Information screen about the system identifier. If the reaction of the person who asked you for this caused an expression of frustration, perhaps this friend understands a little more computers and would like to receive a more detailed answer. These details include the brand and speed of the processor, the capacity and buses of the memory crest, the available hard disk space and many other components that are less memorable, but they are also of great importance in the operation of machines.
In addition to the name of the board itself, you also need to know the name of the company that produced it, because one name of the model does not always determine the manufacturer immediately. A driver will need to be downloaded from the site of the motherboard manufacturer.
In this article I want to tell you how to find out the model of the motherboard of your computer and its manufacturer, in case you need it.
The methods are completely different, from the simplest to the most complex, so that each user of the computer will find a suitable option for himself.
After installation software order it and click the "Run" button in the interface that opens. Two windows are opened: one with basic data and one with full system information. This is the first thing that unites the functions that most beginners should know.
It indicates: the name of the component specified by the manufacturer; Number of working cores; Integrated cache and platform. There is also a list of the functions associated with the device. In this list, the functions that the processor has are marked in green. Below is information about the processing speed of each of the cores and the speed of use - this is called the ratio, which is the ratio between what is used and the total capacity.
View the box or instruction manual for the motherboard.
The easiest way to find out which motherboard you have is to look at the box in which it was, and it will necessarily be marked with the product.
If you do not save the box, then the name of the model can be found by looking at the instructions to, it will also write the name of the model.
Disk drives can be either removable or hard disks. The "Interface" uses the types of data transmission technologies. In this sector there is information related to embedded and embedded video cards installed on the computer. The higher this number, the higher the advanced graphics card and better quality.
Other presented data are "Shaders", which represent the bandwidth of the computer. Motherboards and memory. Still in this menu in the "Memory" are the amount of available memory, bus ridges, as well as information about the clock, the data transfer mode. There is also a "Timing", which is the number of cycles between the activation of memory modules.
When you turn on the computer or in the system BIOS.
If you do not have boxes or instructions books, then the name of the motherboard can be recognized if you look directly at the monitor screen when you turn on the computer.
Different manufacturers of motherboards on different show the name of the model and in different corners of the screen, but you can see it, you just have to look carefully at the screen.
Modules in fact are childish details. Being accessible through the list of components, each of them shows data on the amount of memory, the speed of the cycles and whether there is an error correction code. Maybe it's time to change the car or at least a little to understand what those names and acronyms mean!
Standard Windows tools and other programs
There is a lot of other information about various other components, such as monitors, audio, network and communication ports, as well as more detailed information about the above devices. The computer helps a lot while it works, but one equipment is enough to put an end to everyone's sleep. Some people are radical and form everything without exploring possible reasons, which led the car to death. Others avoid headaches and send machinery to the machine.
Another option is to find out the model of the motherboard by going into the BIOS of your computer.
For example, after entering the BIOS of the Gigabyte motherboard, you need to press the F9 key to open the system information panel.
Where you will see the marking of your motherboard.
These are some solutions, but do not you think it would be good to determine which component broke and repaired alone? In detail. If you recently purchased a computer, contact the service technical support and get the time that the manufacturer offers as a guarantee. If your machine has any particular brand, check to see if there is any repair software.
Noise when you turn on your computer
For this type of situation, you need to take a few steps to determine what the problem is. 
There are ways to determine which component is broken by simply listening to the motherboard's whistle. See how you can identify the problem. 
Lock without blue screen
In this situation, you can perform the following steps to find the problem.
And on the new motherboards that use UEFI BIOS, the name of the motherboard model and the logo of the company itself are displayed on top of the screen.
Look at the motherboard itself.
If you look carefully at the motherboard itself, then on it you will necessarily see the name of the model and the name of the company that manufactured it.
Here's what you need to do to fix the problem. In any case, keep in mind that it is not always possible to solve everything. Even the best specialists can not fix some components, so keep in mind that our tips are common and will not always solve all your problems.
How to find the motherboard model with Windows tools
Many manufacturers simply do not type on their motherboards their names or the name of the motherboard model. You might want to check if the motherboard installed on your computer is the model you bought. Usually, the warranty is broken if you open a computer, so you need to learn how to open this information without opening the micro. This number is displayed on the bottom line of the screen during the memory count, which occurs every time you turn on the micro. Without much effort, we deduce two things.
Such marking can be applied in different places, but it must be there, you just have to look carefully at the motherboard.
With the help of special programs.
There are many programs that give complete information to the user about the content the system unit. They show not only what kind of motherboard model is installed in the system, but what processor, memory, hDD and they describe the characteristics.
In the framework of this article, we are only interested in the motherboard and we will see what such programs tell us about it. For example, I chose four programs and one online service that will help us learn the labeling of the motherboard of our computer.
It is not necessary to use several programs at once, it is enough to choose one or two that you like more or just at the right time at hand.
The CPU-Z program.
The first program is the CPU-Z utility from CPUID, a very popular utility for checking the characteristics of the system unit. It works very quickly and does not need to be installed and what is important, the program is free. Should be in the arsenal of any computer user.
Download the CPU-Z program at this link: http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html
Program Speccy.
The second program I want to introduce is the Speccy utility from Piriform, which many know about its program.
This utility as well as the previous one shows all the information about the components of your computer. To use it is very convenient and easy, all information is divided into categories, there is a free version, which is enough to find out what is inside the system unit.
To find out which model of the motherboard you have installed, go to the "Motherboard" tab, where you will see all the information about it.
In the "Manufacturer" line, you will see the name of the company that produced the "motherboard", and in the "Model" line, its designation.
To get information about the motherboard, go to the "Mainboard" tab, where you will see the name of the manufacturer and the motherboard model label.
The program PC Wizard.
The next program is called PC Wizard from the same author as CPU-Z. This program also shows which components are installed inside the system unit, but has a different graphical interface.
To find out which motherboard is installed in the computer, you need to select the icon with the motherboard in the "Hardware" tab on the left and on the right side of the program you will see its characteristics, where its manufacturer and model name will be indicated.
You can download the PC Wizard at: http://www.cpuid.com/downloads/pc-wizard/pc-wizard_2014.2.13.exe
The AIDA program.
Another program, with which you can find out the marking of the motherboard, is AIDA. This program is known to computer users also under the name Everest and allows testing computer hardware.
The program is paid, so it is not suitable for permanent use, because there is a whole bunch of free software.
But in order to find out the marking of the motherboard, there will be enough trial version of AIDA, which works for 30 days.
To do this, install and run the program and select "System board" in the menu on the left, then in the right part of the program window you will see its marking.
Using the online service and the Intel Detection program.
Finishes my list of programs with which you can identify the model of the motherboard Intel Detection, which works in tandem with the service intel.
This service scans the system using the Intel Detection utility and shows its characteristics on its website.
The procedure is as follows ..
Go to the site:
http://www.intel.com/support/en/siu.htm
You will see the following window with the program description.
Click the "Identify software and hardware on your computer" button.
Then you will be asked to download the Intel Detection program, save it on your hard drive, and then open it, after which it will analyze your system.
When you see this window, close it, analyze your system is ready.
To see which motherboard is installed on your computer, go back to the intel site. In the same window where you downloaded the program, you will see information about your system. In the line "Computer manufacturer" you will see the name of the company of the motherboard, and in the title "Computer model" its marking. In the "Basic level" tab you will see a short information about the system, and in the "Advanced level" tab, more detailed information.
To do a second analysis with this service, you will need to download the program again and run the system diagnostics.
How to find out the model of the motherboard using the Windows command line.
The next way to find the system board label is suitable for more advanced users who can use it.
The complexity of this option is still that you need to remember the commands that you need to enter, or you just need to write them down somewhere, because after a while you simply forget them.
And so, first we need to start the console command line.
To do this, press WIN + R and enter three letters in the input window: cmd.
The Command window opens. windows strings, where we will enter commands. I'll give you two options, how you can find out the name of the company and the model of the motherboard.
As you can see, there is nothing complicated, everything is extremely simple and no superfluous information.
With the help of information programs Windows.
In Windows there are special utilities with which you can get information about the configuration of the system, they will help us to find out which "mother" is inside the system unit.
The first program, this is Dxdiag, is a diagnostic tool for components and drivers for DirectX.
To open it, click:
1. On the "Start" button and the search window, enter the name of the program.
2. Press WIN + R and in the "Run" window enter the name of the program.
The window of the Dxdiag program opens, where in the "System" tab we will see the information we need. In the line "Computer manufacturer" and "Computer model" the name of the company and the marking of the model of the motherboard will be written.
The second utility is called "System Information", which can be opened in three quick ways.
1. Go to the menu:
Start - All Programs - Standard - System Tools - System Information
2. Click the "Start" button and the search window enter the name of the program.
3. Press WIN + R and in the "Run" window enter the name of the program.
As a result of these actions, the program window opens, where you will immediately see the main characteristics of your system, including the motherboard. In the line "Manufacturer" you will see the name of the company, and in the line "Model", its designation.
Using the Windows registry.
This method is suitable for more advanced computer users who can use. But you should not be afraid of beginners either, since you do not need to edit the registry, you just have to look in the right place.
Open the registry window by pressing WIN + R and the program window enter the command:
Then open the registry branch:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \\ HARDWARE \\ DESCRIPTION \\ System \\ BIOS
And in the BIOS section you will see two parameters:
1. BaseBoardManufacturer - Manufacturer's company name;
2. BaseBoardProduct - Name of the board model;
Rewrite the company name and model of the motherboard on a sheet of paper and just close the registry.
