There are several different ways of finding out about the PC motherboard for informational and diagnostic issues. Software can show this information without opening up the PC case. These options are free and available with an Internet connection.
Manufacturer Website
If the make of the motherboard is known, the manufacturer often will have software on its website to help determine the exact model of the motherboard. This helps find the exact software needed to keep the motherboard updated. Both of the major motherboard manufacturers, Nvidia and AMD, have this available on their respective sites.
System Diagnostic Software
Programs such as CCleaner and PC Doctor will show what hardware is on the PC. These will do the job of showing the make and manufacturer of the motherboard but also can be used as diagnostic tools to help show what is happening on the PC. They both have tools such as registry cleaners and tools to delete any type of software.
Hardware Information Tools
There are several pieces of software that are just created to show information about the PC hardware. Speccy lists all components attached to the PC and also the temperature of each component. System Information for Windows is another program that lists everything that is attached to the computer, including the motherboard make and model. Both software programs are freeware with an option to buy a version with more features.
