Hey there guys, so my girlfriend has a relatively decent computer ( it's kinda old but i believe it still has some sort of quad core in it so "Decent" ) Anywho, it had not been reformated in a long time and was starting to act up.
So i reformatted it and everything setup correctly except for one thing. It wont pick up the Ethernet cable i plug into the back and i am unsure on how to find the current Motherboard it is using as she doesn't have the CD to be able to install all that stuff.
Now i'm curious what i need to get this back up and running on the internet, Do i need to replace the entire motherboard so i can get a new cd? Can i find the motherboards exact version etc and just buy the CD alone? Can i just purchase a network adapter for the back of the pc for the ethernet cord and run a cd it comes with?
Any help with this is greatly appriciated, Thanks in advance.
