So basically my hard drive crashed or got the "click of death" ig its what its called and i had no backups so i was forced to buy a new hard drive and windows 7. Everything installed fine but i have no internet connection on my pc ( using my phone ) and i was told to download the drivers for my motherboard off the asus website ( my motherboard is the p8z77-v lk ) but i dont know what drivers to download... Also when i go to device manager theres a " ! " in yellow next to 4 items and they are ethernet controller, SM bus controller, universal serial bus (usb) controller, universal serial bus (usb) controller ( yes two times)
Btw i use windows 7 64 bit and no i dont have the disks that came with the motherboard. One last thing when i know what drives to download and i transfer them to a usb, where would i install the files from the usb on my pc?

you need the mei/intel chipset drivers fist then wifi card or network drivers. once there installed you be able to get online and update and download any drivers you need.
