Motherboard Manufacturers

If you cannot contact your computer's supplier, you may be able to obtain assistance or an updated system BIOS from your computer's motherboard manufacturer.  For AwardBIOS-equipped systems, a BIOS identification number can be used for this purpose. 

This identification number is part of the BIOS ID string, displayed at the bottom-left corner of the screen during startup. On most AwardBIOS-equipped systems, you can press the Pause key during the memory test to suspend the startup process and allow more time to copy the ID string. The string should be similar to the example below. Digits 6-7 identify the motherboard manufacturer using the table below.

Note that some AwardBIOS motherboards may have a different scheme for identification. In this case, the manufacturer will typically be identified below the AwardBIOS header at the top of the screen.
