Names, numbers, anything to identify the motherboard.

Motherboard Chipset   Unknown

This maybe a reason. Everest doesn't recognize your chipset.

well then Everest can lick my unknown chipset____.

Motherboard Name   Unknown

I wouldn't worry. It doesn't recognize mine, either (and I have a Pro version), but free FreshDiagnose does (it does read my temps, though), as well as Windows itself.
Also several CPU tools don't want to read my temps, but Motherboard Monitor does.
It's a brand new Vista here.

My rule always is:
DON'T DEPEND ON ONE TOOL.

In this case, it's nothing wrong about your computer, but with program itself. Given program will recognize some number of hardware, but not all of them. There is no magic tool.

Yeah i know. Thanks for your input though Broni.
