Didn't the motherboard come with a driver and utiiity disk? And can't you download it? That's not "deluxe"; that's very poor.
It's time to buy another motherboard, one that comes with all necessary stuff. After all, it feels like kind of a defeat to add a $10 PCI network card that comes with the right drivers, doesn't it?

Just bought $2,500 worth of parts to build myself a new computer. This isn't the first time I've built one and the last one had no issues whatsoever when I built it.
Now with this one, I built it, started up fine and now the network drivers won't install. And I mean, WON'T. I'm at my wits end.
The drivers are the Intel LAN Driver to get the internet working, and I've been using my laptop to download all possible drivers to get it to work but I need the Intel (R) Adapter and I have no idea where to get it. I've been to the intel website and downloaded what was meant to be the Intel(R) Adapter but it just takes me back to the same drivers that won't install.
But now it has gotten to the stage where even attempting to install the drivers will crash the computer entirely leaving me with the error message "WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR".
My build is:
Intel i7 4790 Processor
GTX 970 Asus Strix 4GB Graphics Card
2TB HD
120GB SSD
ASUS Z97 Deluxe Motherboard.
TL:DR - I can't access the internet on my newly built computer because the Intel LAN drivers won't install as I don't seem to have the Intel (R) Adapters.
