Motherboard Question

adplante · 07-04-2008, 10:22 AM

Hi Im still a bit new here, and trying to get some help with a PC of mine.

I built my own computer about a year ago, then I started getting problems with it and gave up on it about 6 months ago. Ive decided recently that Im going to try to rebuild my PC, but thats becoming a problem seeing how I dont know what was wrong with it.

My question is this:
When I built my computer, someone got the motherboard for me. All I know about it is that its a Microstar mobo. Could someone please help me find out what model it is, considering the computer dosent run??

Any info would be appreciated.

Look at the motherboard and see if there is any writing on it.

My motherboard has 'K9N SLI PLATINUM' Just under the PCI-E slot. Check either their or beside the CPU socket.
