[GastonJ]

any details of the motherboard or processor in there? Normally the first screen that you go into in the BIOS. Or do you have a manual for the motherboard which will give us the model?

[Meat-Head]

look at the motherboard, see if it has a part number next to the processer

[ozmastero]

[ozmastero]

[Shady]

[GastonJ]

It's got an Award BIOS.

[ozmastero]

yeah thats right the MIT bit but i cant find the bit there

[GastonJ]

That's ok, it is 64 bit, so Windows 7 64 bit, or try one of the 64 bit Linux's that are around. Linuxmint/Ububtu/Fedora all 64 bit, all downloadable

[ozmastero]

whats linux all about though? im geting new windowns as i had the syatem 32 error lost all my details so thought id get windows 7

[GastonJ]

Ah well Linux might not be for you, but while you wait for Windows you could find out. Linux is an operating system bundled with a load of software, all open source, has it's own GUI and the like. There are "live" versions of Linux that you can download, burn to DVD, boot your computer on to try it out without even installing Linux onto your hard disk. Worth a try, check out:

FedoraLiveCD - FedoraProject

and give it a go. Nothing to lose
