I just bought an MSI 970A-G46 and an AMD FX-6350, and replaced my old Motherboard and processor with them, using the same hard drive as I did before. My hard drive has Windows 7 on it, I've installed the drivers, and everything is fine except for a few things:
I cannot connect to the internet, I have tried installing the network drivers on the disc that came with my Motherboard, but when it finishes installing, it gives me the message: "The Realtek Network Controller was not found. If Deep Sleep Mode is enabled Please Plug the Cable."
When I take a look at the back of my computer, where the Ethernet cable is plugged in, there are no lights flickering when there should be. I assumed at first maybe the Ethernet adapter was busted, but when I tried loading another operating system that came with the motherboard (called "Winki") and booted from that, it could connect to the internet just fine.
I have a feeling it's something to do with Windows. Not only can I not connect to the internet, but when I go into the Device Manager, the list is blank. Perhaps I am missing some sort of driver for Windows 7 to recognize devices connected to the motherboard? I have no idea if that is actually the problem, nor do I know where to find such a driver.
