I just recently installed a new SSD onto my computer because my other hard drive had died, so now I have a fresh install of windows 7 64bit unactivated on my computer and I cant access the internet. I looked in the device manager and under other devices was Ethernet Controller, I assume that this would be the reason I cant connect, but I'm having trouble finding the correct driver for my motherboard (ASRock 990fx Extreme3). I tried doing the thing in driver details where you do the Hardware ID thing and copy the first one into google on a different pc and downloading it onto a flash dive blabity blabity blah, but google turned over no results.

Any other solutions?

I clicked on "Drivers&Utilities Download - Windows® 7 64bit" and came to a page that doesn't show anything on Ethernet

Never mind, I later found out that I had an extreme9 not an extreme3, so I was downloading the wrong driver, I found the right one but I thank you for the help.
