here is a bios agent report

I am assuming the motherboard is AMD.

I'm pretty certain the chipset is nvidia but their website appears not to have any drivers.

Yes, you have an NForce chipset, but AMD does not make motherboards.

You can get your chipset drivers here:

http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp

But unfortunately I don't know which chipset you have. The drivers are different for nForce 1, 2, 3, and 4. nVidia doesn't seem to offer a tool that identifies it for you and the serial number means nothing to me.

You need to look at your motherboard manual (if you have one) or your computer owner's manual, or your receipt, or something... somewhere it will tell you the exact brand and model of your motherboard and chipset. The motherboard brand will be something like "Asus" or "Asrock" or "Abit" or "Soltek" or "Soyo"; something that a computer might randomly pick when autogenerating names by randomly concatenating phonemes.

If you don't have any of the original documentation or manuals, the name of the chipset and manufacturer are both written on the motherboard, but may be hard to find with all the other words written on it.
