So a day or two ago I cleaned my PC and booted it up again and couldn't connect to the internet, so I tried reinstalling drivers and everything but nothing worked so I decided to factory reset my PC and when I tried to install my internet driver (my mobo is an msi z77a g45 gaming BTW) it gives me the error message 'No supported hardware found in your system. The installer cannot continue' so I tried to see if my LAN was disabled in my bios but whenever I click "motherboard settings" or gover over the boot priorities with my mouse, my PC resets. Please help, I also had to cheap out in my motherboard and I got it from eBay it may be damaged do I just need a new mobo or can I fix it? Thanks (I have also tried to clear CMOS and that didn't work either)
 
Solution
How long did you give for the CMOS to reset it is usally about 10-15 mins out of the motherboard for a full reset.

Also try taking out your GPU, and using your motherboard display port.

Hope this helps!

Hello! I've already reinstalled windows and that hasn't worked. I've gone into my mobile install CD and trued to install my LAN driver manually but i get the error. Also when I try to enter my motherboard settings in the bios it just restarts my PC . Would you recommend I flash my bios? Or should I try and download the current LAN driver from the MSI website?

I just downloaded the bios onto a flash drive, plugged it in, booted up my pc getting ready to press delete but instead get stuck at the A2 error. So after getting into the bios WITHOUT the flash drive being plugged in, i come to find out my pc restarts when i try to click M-Flash like it restarts when i try to get into motherboard settings. So what now? Do i buy a new mobo or is there another way? :/

Yeah I gave the CMOS about 30 min to clear and I'll try taking out my GPU but if that doesn't work I'll just buy a new mobo, this one has taken its toll plus like I said I got it from eBay so I'll get a new one from amazon or newegg this time so this won't happen again. Anyways thanks for the help man. :) I'll just give you the solution anyways
