Hey
My brother, in a bid to get sid meiers railroads working, had to update his motherboard drivers, he installed the wrong ones so when he restarted his pc would not boot up, and he had to go into safe mode. The internet on his pc then stopped working, the problem is that he has lost his motherboard cd so he cannot get the original drivers, so we have been using my pc to search the internet.
We installed some drivers that we were pretty sure were the right ones but the pc does not boot up still, one fix off the web was to update the bios, which we downloaded, but it would not run on his pc!
Does anyone have any suggestions to find out exactly what type his motherboard is without acess to the internet on his pc? Also do you think we would be able to get another cd sent to us from the manufactuer?
Cheers

Or give us the Make/Model of the computer if it's made my a major manufacturer.
Well we have found out the make and so on and downloaded the right drivers but they still did not work, it still will not boot up, and we cannot update bios which was a suggested fix...
Do you think a format could sort any problems, as the drivers we last tried were definately the right ones!
Potentially it could solve the problems, but you'll lose everything that was on that partition.
As Ruckus said, you'll lose everything on that partition/hard drive, but it sounds like there's not much else that's working right now.
Thanks for the help!
