    After Installing 64-bit Cant connect to router


    So im fairly useless with computer, so i thought i would try find some people who know what there doing to help :)

    So i had 32-Bit installed and i got told 78LMTthat because my pc has 8g RAM 64 bit would be better seeing as RAM is being wasted, so i installed 64-bit and all was going good up until i tryed connecting to a network, it just does not find anything its as if my router just does not exist anymore, the ethernet cable is still plugged in and nothing else has changed.

    After a full day of just looking at my pc hoping it would magically work again, i installed some drivers which came with the pc and it managed to get me to connect to 'Local area connection' but still no sign of anything else.

    As i said im fairly useless when it comes to this stuff some hopefully someone can aid me.

    PC MODEL; GA-78LMT-S2P

    Not seeing any missing drivers . When you try to open up a browser what error message do you get ? The icon on the sys tray ( near the time ) shows it is connected . From the Computer to the router is the Ethernet cable plugged into the first Ethernet port on the router ?

    When you were installing Windows 7 x64-bit did you have the Ethernet cable plugged into the PC ? Also how did you install Windows 7
