possible but unlikely. amd is the maker of your cpu. what is the fsb of your cpu as in your processor details, it shows 802mhz for cpu speed whereas you posted it as 3400+ which is around 2.2ghz

geestar20, there should be some sort of label on the PC, with make and model number etc, and also some graphics on the case/cosmetics aswell.
Post them up if you can, we maybe able to track it that way..........

-baabaa- there is no cosmetics on my casing, it's just all silver and only a ATI 9700 sticker.
underneith is a warnibg about do not block vents blah blah and a Personal Computer Model No.: 258KA5 and that is all.
I did a search for the model number in google but only 4 entries came up. not much help though.

looks like you have bios version 1.02 so download 1.02, 1.03 & 1.04. unzip the files as there is a flash program file & the bios update. check to see if all 3 flash program files is same & if so than need only 1 of them. read on how to flash the bios & do what it says as you could end up with scrap if you don't.

that's a nice little note book!
after you do the bios upgrade if your going to put xp on it make sure you get SP2 as well. there are issues with xp and USB 2.0 and sevice pack 2 fixes that.
good luck with the flash and be carefull.

Sometimes it is a power issue for the USB. If the usb ports are not getting enough power it will not run the device. You may want to check with the MFG. and see if they have had any problems with this. I have seen on board usb ports go bad due to not enough power.
