Drivers for ASUS M5A97 R2.0 mother board

[chriso36]

I have windows 7 running on an ASUS M5A97 R2.0 motherboard but do not have the driver disk. Where can I find the drivers in a downloadable format where I can transfer them from one PC to another? The PC in question cannot access the internet because it does not have the motherboard drivers to make the onboard network card function.

Thanks

You can find the drivers for your motherboard here : http://www.asus.com/ca-en/Motherboards/M5A97_R20/HelpDesk_Download/
Just transfer them onto the other computer and run from there.

I just downloaded a zip file containing M5A97-R2.0-ASUS-1602.CAP. As I read other posts here it seems this is a BIOS Flash file? This motherboard was used for a while then the drive was reformatted but I do not know where the motherboard driver disk is anymore. Is this the correct file? I do not think I should have to flash the BIOS, I just want the onboard ports to function.

When you choose your operating system, you can afterwards choose what you download, download the AUDIO, LAN, USB ones for main system functionality.
