The Win32_MotherboardDevice WMI class a represents a device that contains the central components of the Windows computer system.

Create a new Windows Forms Application Project.

Add one button control to the form.

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

SelectQuery Sq = new SelectQuery("Win32_MotherboardDevice");

ManagementObjectSearcher objOSDetails = new ManagementObjectSearcher(Sq);

ManagementObjectCollection osDetailsCollection = objOSDetails.Get();

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

foreach (ManagementObject mo in osDetailsCollection)

{

sb.AppendLine(string.Format("Caption: {0}", (string)mo["Caption"]));

sb.AppendLine(string.Format("Availability: {0}", mo["Availability"].ToString()));

sb.AppendLine(string.Format("InstallDate: {0}", Convert.ToDateTime(mo["InstallDate"]).ToString()));

sb.AppendLine(string.Format("CreationClassName : {0}", (string)mo["CreationClassName"]));

sb.AppendLine(string.Format("Description: {0}", (string)mo["Description"]));

sb.AppendLine(string.Format("DeviceID : {0}", (string)mo["DeviceID"]));

sb.AppendLine(string.Format("ErrorCleared: {0}", (string)mo["ErrorCleared"]));

sb.AppendLine(string.Format("ErrorDescription : {0}", (string)mo["ErrorDescription"]));
