Hi Wulbo, Welcome to the forums, You can find the drivers here GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket AM3+ - GA-970A-DS3 (rev. 3.0) choose the mobo revision to suit your needs then download the chipset and the ethernet drivers to suit your board revision

Hi Wulbo , the revision # for your motherboard is like mark 1 , mark 2 etc as in car models the higher the rev # the newer the board , If your mobo is brand new ,we can assume it will most probably a revision 3 board

Yes Wulbo ,You can do that, youu will then be able to install straight from the USB pendrive install the chipset drivers 1st that sometimes solves the problem with internet connection on AMD boards

In the future remember to get the drivers ahead of time. The first rule in a clean install is to always have the drivers available beforehand, especially the network ones.
