[wild solar]

Is this a laptop or a desktop?

[unkempt tendon]

desktop

i literally just booted new windows into it

and im getting this

i didnt have it before

so? @wild solar

uhm

i had to reinstall my windows due to bsod, now that i am back on my windows, no network is available

when i press adapter options the folder is empty

i also get these in device manager which i have never seen before

Sorry I had to go and do something, but do you know the exact model of your motherboard?

[unkempt tendon]

yes

im okay now

installed the ethernet drivers

but now the internet wont connect

even though the ethernet is connected

[wild solar]

Did you download the drivers from your motherboard manufacturer's website? Usually they have the Ethernet drivers there and WiFi drivers if your board has built in WiFi

[unkempt tendon]

yes
