Help! I unintstalled my driver!

Manners93 · 16 Apr 2016 at 13:22

Hey guys,

Had an issue with my internet lately spiking ( Think its something to do with Win 10). Today I thought about reinstalling network drivers, only problem was I uninstalled the driver without the file being downloaded already and now have no connectivity to get the driver! Tried getting Windows to search but it cant do it as I have no internet signal. I'm on a wired connection through the use of a powerline adapter through the mains. I've tried browsing online to see what I need to get on the other computer but I dont want to download something that will mess up my new system. Can anyone give me a hint as to what I need?

So just a summary - I went to device managers > Network Adapater > Then uninstalled whatever Intel adapter it was (Not sure of name!)

My system is the following one:

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/infi...700k-4.7ghz-ddr4-sli-gaming-pc-fs-467-oe.html

Any help is greatly appreciated

EDIT:

I dont have a CD Drive so cant even put in the Motherboard disc (which I think I might have to? Correct me if im wrong). If I can do it without the disc that would be great. If not let me know and I'll go out and buy a USB CD Drive.

It's a Gigabyte motherboard. Have you tried their website?

Hi, first of all, what a system! I am quite jealous

You should be able to find the latest drivers available to download from the Support and Downloads page for your motherboard on the Gigabyte website.

Here is a link to the download page for your motherboard www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5564#dl

Should be a case of downloading, transferring to USB stick, transferring to the system in question, installing then away you go.

Thanks for the quick responses guys. Got it working again! Its a lovely systems. Works a treat and handles everything I throw at it. Now just to get into streaming

Just need to handle these ping spikes which are happening. Any idea what they are ? I never had them before picking up this system and moving to Windows 10.

Heres a wee quick over view of what I'm getting.

You say you have another computer. Does that one have the same problem?

Is the ping to the router stable?

This, if the ping to the router is high as well then it could be the powerlines.

Might be worth pinging www.bbc.co.uk as well to see what you get.

I'll Check the other one out now, I dont use it often as its my brothers. How do I check the ping to the router? I'm not very computer savy

Ping the router's IP, usually either 192.168.1.254 or 192.168.1.1.

Tried to ping the router with those IP's you sent and neither worked :confused:

If you're doing comparison checks use the same target IPs.

Are both PCs using Powerline adapters?

To get the router IP open a command prompt and type IPCONFIG. In the text that's returned they'll be the default gateway, that's your router's IP address.
