first build need drivers help.

[mhirt34]

Hey guys I just finished buildin my first pc and am about to start doing drivers and such. The only problem is I don't have a CD drive to use the disc that came with my mobo ( Gigabyte GA-z77x-ud5h) and my Ethernet controllers are not working because I do not have the drivers. is there anyway to install drivers from a usb like i did with windows?

Go to this web page: http://bit.ly/15hPh9b download the drivers from it, throw it on a USB stick, plug it in your computer, and install them.

Your flash drive.

Keep in mind that you will also need some unzip utility, Look for 7zip

Download the drivers on a USB from an other computer, but do not open them otherwise they will install on that computer. Plug the USB in and open the drivers. You should then be able to follow the instructions that come up when you install programs. The best way is to not change where the drivers will be installed. They will always be installed on the C drive or the main windows drive.

Well i got everything up and running! but now when i go to restart my computer i just get stuck on the shutting down screen. Anyone know why this is?

[MTROB]

What operating system are you using?I have a problem with Windows 8 that involves shutdown problems but their not quite the same as yours.

[mhirt34]

im running windows 7. Should i maybe uninstall the drivers and reinstall them?

[MTROB]

What were the drivers that you installed?

[mhirt34]

Just all of the drivers for my motherboard. audio, usb, chipset, lan. Stuff like that.

[MTROB]

And its only restarting? Not shutting down.

[mhirt34]

yeah it will restart after i hit the reset button on my case but it will sit there and just get stuck on the shutting down screen when i try again.
