No. I can't find any VIA chipset. I'm really surprised. :-) But it is an
original Compaq-Board (EP-Series..) with a horroble BIOS. It seems that they're
using intel only..

I did a probe of my harddisk with IBM's Drive Fitness program. It detected no
errors.

Here's the output of it:

Here is the output of cat /proc/pci:
