I have a old Gateway computer I just installed windows 7 on. Having trouble identifying what model the computer is. I think its from 2002 era.
Did a good amount of searching but not really sure what I am looking for, I need chipset driver to get sleep to work?

This is what info I can find on it from running belarc advisor

This is all stock hardware configuration, the way my uncle bought it originally. I would like to find what model it is.
 
Make sure S3 is chosen/enabled/selected in the BIOs.
 
Doesn't the case have model number/service info stickers on it?

It doesn't matter anyway, you would want to concentrate on the motherboard which is an Intel D850EMV2.

As you will find out, there is no Windows 7 support when it comes to drivers for that motherboard. Sorry. See this link...

Here is list of all available of drivers for that motherboard from Intel (including the chipset driver which ended support with Windows 2000.)

I checked am3 is enabled. There is no model number on the case. Should I try the xp driver or just leave it alone?
