This may be worth a try mate . If you can get your hands on a Linux CD, I recomend PCLinux, its KDE based, you may be able to get the Live cd to run (runs the operating system without actually installing). Then you go to KINFO CENTRE, thats on PCLinux anyway and it tells you all the hardware installed, pheriferals etc. I have used this method a few times especially to find out what the make and model of onboard sound and graphics are. Because windows can't tell me what drivers to look for, not even doing a custom live update. If it has trouble starting make sure you select start in safe mode. Worth a try i reckon. Hope you get it sorted mate. Cheers.
