Where do I locate motherboard network drivers?
Question:Where do I locate the motherboard network drivers?
Answer:Users who have motherboards with on-board
network cards may have issues with locating the proper drivers
for their network card. Often users encounter issues with their
on-board network card after the operating system has been
reinstalled and the motherboard chipset drivers are not installed.
To resolve this issue, try following the below steps.
Let Windows redetect drivers
If you have not recently reinstalled Microsoft Windows, it's
possible that your network drivers are simply corrupt. Open
Device Manager and remove all devices under "Network Adapters"
and any "Other devices". Once removed, reboot the computer and let
Microsoft Windows re-detect the network drivers.
Motherboard chipset drivers
If your computer came with a Motherboard CD,
install the chipset drivers from the CD and the network drivers if
also available on the CD.
If you do not have a motherboard CD, obtain the
motherboard
chipset drivers from the motherboard
manufacturer.
Network card drivers
If after installing the motherboard chipset drivers you
continue to have issues, install the network drivers. We suggest you
download the network drivers from the
computer
manufacturer or motherboard
manufacturer.
A listing of motherboard manufacturers and their drivers can be
found on our motherboard chipset
drivers page.
