I'm putting together an old computer to give linux a try and I have all the components that I need etc. When I have hooked everything up and turn on the computer there is nothing on the screen.

Instead I get a beep code(1 long) which means that my motherboard isn't configured right. I think my jumpers are set wrong but I NEED to know the manufacturer of the motherboard.

That is where I need your help!

The chipset is an Intel 430HX (aka Triton II)
There are 2 different numbers on the board:
96-00033(off by itself) and 553 VER 1.1(near ISA)

On the board is 4 PCI and 4 ISA slots.
It is a socket 7 CPU.
Award BIOS PCI/PNP 586 (s/n 029259297)

That's pretty much it. Please help if you can! I need to know the ID of the board! If you need any additional info or can point my in the right direction just let me know!

thanks!
Betsy

thanks again

Can you boot this MOBO? If you can, as soon as it does POST, and the Awards BIOS strings comes up, hit Pause or Break on your Keyboard to copy down the BIOS sting ID which will be at the bottom of the POST screen it starts with something like 12/01/1996----------- it is very long and contains the intel chipset# and BIOS ID give me those numbers and I will tell u all u need to know about the MOBO.
