    Download the LAN driver http://download.msi.com/dvr_exe/Killer_network_w10.zip

    When you open device manager, do you see a yellow alert on any driver?

    To figure out which network driver your machine has, do:

    start > run > msinfo32 > components > problem devices

    The results, which windows calls problem devices, are those devices on your machine that do not yet have the correct driver. The results will look something like this (this is from my system):

    PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_15B8&SUBSYS_E0001458&REV_00

    If you then google the first half of that string plus the word "driver", you'll see what you need. For instance if you google

    PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_15B8 driver

    the first hit takes you to "Downloads for Intel® 82544EI Gigabit Ethernet Controller" which is my driver.
