Hey guys, I'm having a serious problem. So this is my very first computer build, like ever. I got everything up and working and I begin installing all the drivers for my motherboard and it's working fine up until I get to the LAN driver, which no matter what I do or try it just says the same thing "Cannot install drivers. No Intel(R) Adapters are present in this computer." My motherboard is a Asus Z870-A (Or this: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Z87A/ ). If anyone could help me...like if I need to check wires or soemthing,,? I'm not sure I just really need help and I'm such a noob at this...thanks :c

If your motherboard doesn't even detect the ethernet adapter, it could be damaged, which is weird because I'm assuming it's new. One thing I would suggest if you can't fix the current problem is get a wireless WAN USB device. I know wireless isn't as fast as ethernet but it's better than nothing.
