Cannot Connect to Wifi With New Mobo

smkulczyk · Jul 23, 2018

I just switched cpus and motherboards and now I cannot connect to wifi using my wifi adapter. I bought a gigabyte 78lmt. The mobo came with a drivers cd and i copied all of that and put it onto a usb but still cannot get it to work. No networks appear when trying to connect.

Thanks.

Did you do a new OS install with the new motherboard? If not, that is probably your problem. Windows is confused about what hardware is real and what isn't because Windows registry still has the old HW config.

Thanks for the reply. So what you are saying is that I should reinstall windows and that could fix the problem?

Any time a motherboard swap is made, that is my first recommendation. There is no definite way to say what problems an old OS on a new motherboard can cause. Many times, it just won't boot at all.
