Ive been thru this before

#

hope you can borrow someone elses computer and a usb stick

#

you're gonna google the exact motherboard you have, down to the revision. You need to make %100 sure the motherboard on the site is the one you bought, then motherboard manufactures will have links to their drivers, but I'd get the chipset and audio drivers while you're there and put them on the usb
