Did you install the LAN drivers? Or wireless drivers if youre using a wireless adapter

You should install chipset drivers first. 8.1 should install LAN and audio. You dont really need anything else

I wouldnt install programs like easytune or Gigabyte on/off. Theyre known to crash windows

And the VGA drivers if youre using onboard video

I feel so dumb i was looking under the wrong filter!! I was looking under applications. After hours of reading manuals and tiny letter on the mobo i suppose i was worn out. Thanks to anyone that replied. And thank you for the tips on the other Gigabyte software.
