yeah, well I guess that's why I'm here, to learn things I don't know (there should still be plenty)
Hi.
First: Read all text on the mobo. The name of the manufacturer and/or the type of the mobo should be printed on the mobo.
Second: when starting the system you can see a lot of characters at the bottom of the screen. Press the key PAUSE, so you can stop the system.
