No drivers found after a fresh USB install  

Hi, first of all I'm new to the forum so I'm not sure if this is under the right category.

My old laptop's hard drive was filled with all kinds of files (not a virus, just an old computer) and deleting some of them didn't help at all, so I decided to do a clean install of Windows 7. I used Rufus. I had issues with the installation complaining about no drivers found, etc. Somehow I bypassed that, but now after installing it, there are no drivers. No way to access the internet, small screen resolution and so on. I did try to install the drivers by downloading them from ASUS' website and copying them to a flash drive and installing from there, but it didn't work. Some of the drivers say "Installation successful" or similar, and some cannot be installed at all. And those that say installation successful, actually do nothing. There's also a CD that came with the computer, apparently including all the drivers. But when I try to launch that it says "This disk isn't compatible with this machine". At this point I'm very frustrated. What can I do? Can I install Windows with all the essential drivers automatically?
The laptop is ASUS X54H.

Thanks

Welcome to the forum. Did you get the correct drivers for 64bit win7 from here ASUSTeK Computer Inc. -Support- Driver & Tools - X54H

on the page samuria linked, first run the chipset inf update driver, then the lan driver and then the utility called asus live update, and you should be good to go. If not, try running this

Intel® Driver Update Utility

Yes. That's where I got them from.

If you followed the steps in post #3 and it did not help, please post the entire content of the right hand pane of start > run > msinfo32 > components > problem devices.

No luck.

Network Controller PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0032&SUBSYS_2C971A3B&REV_01\4&EE8FC94&0&00E1
PCI Simple Communications Controller PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1C3A&SUBSYS_13C71043&REV_04\3&11583659&0&B0
USB Controller PCI\VEN_1B21&DEV_1042&SUBSYS_10591043&REV_00\4&1F17E497&0&00E3

Error codes for all the devices are "The drivers for this device are not installed."

EDIT: ASUS Live Update failed to install, gave the error message "Live Update is only compatible with ASUS notebooks."
I installed the network drivers, but like last time it said it was successfully installed yet after rebooting it still doesn't work.

In order those are:

Intel(R) Management Engine Interface
Atheros AR9485 Wireless
Asus USB Controller Universal Serial Bus USB Controller

I would run asus live update - in the utilities section here

X54H | Laptops | ASUS Global


live update should install them automatically but if not, note that the intel mgt driver is listed within "other" on the asus link

its possible the network driver is not atheros since i do not see it listed on the asus link, but try this anyway. can't hurt

Download Qualcomm Atheros wireless driver for AR9485 and 64bit Windows 7
