It's written on the chip. The letters are small so it may be hard to read it.

And there might be more chips like this on the mainboard. If you know the size of the bios rom update from the vendor, you will be able to find out which chip is the right one, for it must be the same size. Size of the chip is in bits. So a 64Mbit chip corresponds to a bios rom of 8 MByte.

Oke thank you i am going to look. @jjurkus The 30 minute problem is that the laptop is getting a hard tunoff after 30 minutes. This is also in the BIOS and after the installation of another OS.

Well, if you didn't meddle with ME before this will probably not be an issue that can be solved by using me_cleaner.
