i am here at my friends house, and i cant find any of the cd-roms with the drivers or a box that would tell the motherboard type. i did just look in the bios though, there was something about a warning beep, it is enabled, and i also enabled the cpu_fan detection option, which i think might have something to do with it. this sounds so stupid, but i cant even find a screwdriver around here, to take apart the computer, i want to see if the cpu fan is on, the fan in the rear of the box is on.
