I can’t know anything about it. Then your master image is damaged. In fact, we can leave these software. Clearly understand the configuration of the computer hardware. Let's take a look at it together.

First, check the hardware configuration in the power-on self-test

After the machine is assembled, even if the operating system is not installed, you can perform the power-on test in the screen of the power-on self-test. A brief introduction to hiding the hardware configuration (since the boot screen flashes over, if you want to see it clearly, remember to reach down and hold the "PAUSE” key).

2.CPU and hard disk, memory, CD-ROM information

After displaying the basic information of the video card, the second self-test screen that appears next shows More hardware information, such as CPU model, frequency, memory capacity, hard drive and CD-ROM information, will appear in this screen. The top two lines of the screen indicate the BIOS version of the motherboard and the copyright information of the BIOS manufacturer; the next text will be understood at a glance, of course, the motherboard chipset; the next few lines of text indicate the CPU frequency and memory. Capacity, speed. Oh, my CPU and memory are overclocked, so the frequency can be less formal; the following four lines "IDE……" indicate the devices connected to the IDE master-slave interface, including the hard disk model and optical drive model. Wait.

3. Motherboard information

There will also be a line of information about the motherboard at the bottom of the second self-test screen. The previous date shows the current motherboard. BIOS update date, the following symbol is the code used by the motherboard, according to the code we can understand the motherboard chipset model and manufacturer. In the past, the middle of the lowermost text in the self-test screen of the old motherboard is marked with the motherboard chipset, which is mentioned above the self-test screen.

After the machine is started, press the “DEL” button to enter the BIOS setup page. In the basic information, you can also see the hardware information of the machine, which is no different from the startup screen.
