Any idea what motherboard is this?
I'm trying to find a BIOS update for a motherboard on an old computer I've recently acquired as the Blue Screen of Death keeps coming up and I'd like to try updating the BIOS to see if it will solve any problems. I've determined the following information, but can anyone figure out what is the motherboard?

The last thing you want to do is flash the bios of a flakey board.
You might try ASTRA , it can run in dos and fits on a floppy.
Platform: DOS, MS Windows 95/98/ME. Version: 5.10 download
If you don't get a motherboard ID then it's possibly a generic OEM board (bought in batches), likely not find a bois update for it.
From the data shown, it should run any Windows platform.
If a fresh install of Win98 is having problems then likely bios settings wrong or hardware failure, suspects: bios settings, bad ram, underpowered PSU, bad IDE cable, PCI cards, bad board/CPU.
Run memtest86 to check the ram.
Sometimes Win98 has issues with more than 512Meg of ram so you might find it stabalizes after removing that 128 stick.
Check the BIOS settings (write them down) and try the Default/fail safe settings.
