network controller driver not installed. unable to connect to internet

LES5454 · 11 Feb 2014

I just came home from overseas to discover my wife tried to modify our custom built computer. I am not sure of the specs off the top of my head. I wiped it out and re-installed windows 7. Now, I get a no driver for the network controller and other device yellow triangle. I have an ASUS mobo and installed the correct drivers for the ethernet(NVIDIA) I spent the better part of 3 hours on the phone with ASUS, and still was unable to accomplish anything. I have tried installing the drivers from the NVIDIA and ASUS websites. I am at a standstill here. If anyone could try to point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated. Thank you

Yep, I don`t see any network drivers listed.

Did you use the automatic detection utility ?

I`m assuming you used the driver off the motherboard cd but it still doesn`t work ?

I tried this and still got nothing. it was unable to install the realtek LAN driver because it says the network controller was not found. I have tried to install just about every chipset( i might have missed a few) that i could find in relation to this. I am still unsure of the problem. Thank you very much for the help

Well then, you could always go out and grab a cheap network card from Bestbuy, install it and you`ll be on your way. Then run windows update and it should clear up the driver issue.

I tried that as well. It wont recognize or let me install anything without finding the network controller.

thank you for all of your help. I installed everything as you instructed. The only thing that remains is a hazard triangle next to the network controller in the device manager. I am still unable to connect to the internet.
