The motherboard is where everything is connected. The chipset is what control the memory, the graphic card the disks...Some chipsets give plenty of trouble. Did the guy in the shop tried to upgrade the BIOS?
I'm sorry. I have no clue.

If I could get my hands back on the list of components of my computer it would help, but of course it's disappeared when I need it. :p If I find it I'll let you know what the motherboard is. Otherwise, is there any way for me to find it? I couldn't figure out what device it was under "device manager".
