Help with ethernet drivers

[MW2Man00]

I built my first system yesterday, and after setting up windows my ethernet isn't working so I can't install online drivers but only the ones that come on the disc the motherboard came with. I installed most things through the program on the disc but I can't install LAN drivers.

 

When I open Intel Network Connections it tries to install drivers but it says it can't find an Intel adapter. I'm not sure how to go about setting up drivers.

 

SPECS:

Asus Z97-A USB 3.1

i7-4790k

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti

16GB HyperX Fury RAM

EVGA 650 G2

250gb 850 EVO

1tb WD Blue

 

Thanks.

You dont have like a USB Wifi card to plug in do you? If you do, plug that in and install the drivers for it. Then in Device Manager, look in "Unknown Devices" and look for the LAN interface in the list, Download drivers from there. Bing bang boom youre good to go

No USB Wifi card. I have a second PC with internet I can use but I've tried and I can't seem to get it to work.

Id try and figure out what the exact model name/number is for the LAN chip and download the lastest drivers for it, If that doesnt work, try doing an OS reinstall, That worked for me on my laptop last time I reinstalled windows

I'm running windows 7 and I've done that. I get a Code 31 error when I look at it in device manager.

Try uninstalling it and deleting the files and then redownload and try installing it again.

How do I go about removing Windows 7 from my SSD

Just pop your install media into your pc and do the same installation process you did

I reinstalled windows with the same issue. When I go to install drivers from the Asus disk, it doesn't detect the network adapter.

First, I'd make sure the onboard LAN is enabled in the BIOS (I've done that before) and that it's visible in Device Manager as an unknown device. If so, try grabbing the driver straight from Intel on whichever computer you're sing to post here and pop it onto a USB stick to install on the new build. It's a newer driver than what comes on the disc anyway, and with any luck, you'll get some joy out of it.
