Reboot your system, on the BIOS post screen (showing install hds, memory test, etc), press 'pause/break' key, and depending on bios/mobo brand it should have a string with the correct model number...

Theres a number of ways to figure out your chipset.. the bios post screen, opening the case and physically looking on the motherboard for brand/model ... But if its a generic pc (ie; dell/hp/compaq/etc) you will have to goto their support site and enter your pc model found on the case somewhere...

Funny you say that because I ran Windows update the other day and there where a ton of fixes. I can't remember if that was before or after the problem started but I'm thinking it was before.


If i could ask. My MB is a Gigabit GA-81PE1000 could someone point me to where I would find the chipset drivers
