Re installed Windows 7 and can't connect to internet

[davidk11811]

I had to re install windows 7 and wipe my hard drive due to a BSOD, when i try to connect to the internet it says I am missing drivers, when I click download drivers it tells me it can't find any. Help?

The drivers for your system are here:
Asus K53SV Drivers for Win7 | driverswin.com

You need a Wireless Driver.
I would go for:
Intel WiFi Wireless LAN Driver

You will need to download it from another computer (probably the one your using now), Drag it over to the USB Memory Stick. Eject it and insert it in the computer your fixing and install it from there.

Hello david,

It cannot find any drivers because it cannot connect to the internet. It cannot connect to the internet because it doesn't have the driver software that allows it to do that. With your computer you should have received driver software CDs. They should have your LAN driver and any wireless drivers your computer may have. The most up to date drivers are found on the manufacturer's website, but it sounds like you aren't able to navigate the internet at this point in time.

If you do not have the CDs, then you might borrow a computer elsewhere, use a USB stick or the like, download the drivers from the manufacturer's website to the USB stick, and then take it to your computer to install them. make sure you install an antivirus program as soon as possible as you will need to make sure you stay protected.

Hope this helps.

I found a disk that said VGA Driver and Manual. Is this what you're talking about? When I put it in the drive and run it, nothing happens.

 

[davidk11811]

Never mind, that was a disk for an Asus GPU i got on my desktop, I got mixed up because my laptop is asus

 

[davidk11811]

I FIXED IT!! I'm too happy to explain how! Thanks for the help.

Please post your solution.

It wasn't so much of a solution as it was just me stopping being an idiot! When I transferred the drivers to my laptop I tried to just update them in the device manager after I did that, I thought windows would find them in my PC. I didn't realise there was a setup application you could run within the driver folders.

But now I have another problem. I'm stuck on Basic/Starter windows theme, and it looks horrible. Apparently if you run a Windows Experience Index it will give you Aero, but mine keeps failing at the end. It says "Assesment Complete" and then this error comes up. There are no warning signs in my device manager and my GPU drivers are definitely up to date. Is there anyway to fix this or is there a way to download areo?

Also when doing a Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor scan it gave me this message.
I downloaded the latest drivers from Nvidia's website, so why doesn't it support Aero? I currently have an Nvidia GT520M in my laptop.

Did you install one of these drivers from the link I posted - http://driverswin.com/asus-k53sv-drivers-for-win7/?
nVidia Graphics Driver Ver. V8.17.12.6813
nVidia Graphics Driver Ver. V8.17.12.6813
Intel Graphics Driver

You could also check Windows Update, they usually have the drivers there.

Ive tried 2 or 3 different drivers now
I'll download them and let you know how it works.

Try this: http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/notebook-win7-winvista-64bit-285.62-whql-driver-uk.html

If not:
Try Windows Update or your pc may have came with a Driver Disk

 

[davidk11811]

Try this: NVIDIA DRIVERS 285.62 WHQL

If not:
Try Windows Update or your pc may have came with a Driver Disk

I have already tried that link, no luck. My PC didn't come with a driver disk and what do you mean by try windows update?

Try it again, it is a different one to what I sent before.

Control Panel > Windows Update > Check for Updates. Check if there are any Graphics Drivers.

Ok I'm doing the Windows update even though there are no Graphics Drivers and then after I will try that link again. I'm clueless as to why it isn't working.

 

[davidk11811]

What about if I click custom installation this time, is there something I can do there that will fix this problem because I picked express before and it did nothing.

Edit - And should I do a clean installation?

 

[seavixen32]

Choose the custom option.

The old driver will be uninstalled first before a clean install of the new driver takes place.

 

[davidk11811]

I did a clean install and surprise surprise still not working
Any other ideas?

If these drivers are for the system in your profile (i5 2430m/Nvidia GT520MX) I believe its this model: Asus K53SC.
ASUSTeK Computer Inc. - Notebooks- ASUS K53SC

If you use the above link it will take you to the manufacturers website, all you need do is select the correct OS from the drop down menu and it will display Asus' recommended drivers for that model.

Hope this is of some use.

I've tried those drivers plenty of times but they aren't doing anything
