Check the ID of your motherboard and look it up in Google.
A good idea would be to get a proper PCI graphics card.

Try reinstalling your display adapter driver and your motherboard chipset driver.
If this doesnt work you could try an over the top reinstall of windows if you have the windows cd or if that doesnot work or you have a recovery cd which formats your computer backup any important data and reformat and reinstall its worth a shot. |

Option 1: Look around on the motherboard for serial numbers and manufacturer's names. You mainly want the motherboard name/number and the graphics chip name/number. After you get as much info as possible, search online for information in the system.
Option 2: If you have access to broadband or you're fairly patient, download something like Damn Small Linux or Feather (roughly 50-120mb image) and try booting from it. Watch what it detects your hardware as then go online and attempt to find the relevant drivers. |
