this is what to do ----
boot the system - when the BIOS information screen comes up hit pause - 
write down the number in the bottom left corner of the screen including 
dashes - this is the BIOS revision/id number (not the version #)
email AMI tech support this # and they will be able to identify the 
manufacturer of your mobo
