Hi, I just finish build my PC, but looks like it does not connect to internet, because it says i dont have the network adaptor. OK, so I went to MSI website, download the drive(Mine motheboard is MSI Z170A Gaming M5). After I download the driver from my USB which connect with my laptop, then I plug in to the usb 2.0, my new PC does not recorgnize anything. I didnt see any thing about my flash drive.

Any one can help? or has the same problem?


Thank you in advance.

Did you install all the drivers from the disk that came with your motherboard? You can go into Device Manager and see if anything is yellowed flagged and download the driver for that. Try all the USB ports, too.

You have to INSTALL the new driver. It doesn't just automatically know the driver is there and magically work. Open windows explorer or my computer, browse to your flash drive, locate the file you downloaded and double click the file to install the driver for your network adapter. Or install the network adapter driver from the disk that came with your motherboard.

What is your windows version? The problem may be that there are no Windows 7 drivers for your network adapter chipset available. Many new devices don't support older operating systems.
