Open the case and read the video card itself, physically. It should give you a pretty good idea of what it is on some little label or something.

Even if the drivers aren't actually installed properly, the card should post on boot! (the first screen you see) usually just a couple of lines of information at the top of the screen, which will reveal Type of card, how much onboard memory and card bios version etc.
Most graphics cards have a built in bios chip just like the motherboard, that contains this vital start up information.
Only thing is you may have to start and shut down the system a few times to write it all down. Martin Vote if you found this post helpful please!!

You have a video card with the Intel 1740 chipset.
Drivers for this are available at
I have one of these myself and I can tell you that if you are running it on an AMD system, particularly with a VIA chipset motherboard you will have continuing problems. If you are on an Intel system, pentium or celeron, you should be OK
