From device manager (yellow question marks), I have copied the following details:

Multimedia controller driver instance id:

My PC details are:
Processor: AMD Athlon 1.3 Ghz
Main board type: Micro ATX
Power AGP card: 64MB GeForce 2 MX 400
I have another reference on a label in my original paperwork (this might be the motherboard?): 7AIA5
also: PN: 9577062001
and: Code:7CTAIA5/AIA5E_Label V.1_E

I have tried Via arena website to get the drivers but no luck so far.

This appears to be a Chaintech board, but no IDE drivers offered only the C-media audio, this is a Via chipset board, and a GeForce graphics card is installed, to be sure can you get Belarc http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html
copy and paste the report in the thread

Hope this helps
