I take it your machine isn't bootable? This should help:

Flash your BIOS at your own risk.

Starting with the AN430TX and the LT430TX, all Intel motherboards have the type number printed on them. Clearly visible.
An alterntive would be to post the AAxxxxxx-xxx number along with the IXXXxxxxxxxx serial number on the stickers.
If you can't find those, it's not an Intel board, just a motherboard with an Intel chipset.
