TROUBLESHOOTING BY PROBLEM

Motherboard Wi-Fi, Ethernet driver and front-audio troubleshooting

First identify the hardware actually present. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Ethernet and analogue audio are separate devices or paths. A package for a similarly named board can be irrelevant even when the installer runs.

Choose the right starting point

  1. Wireless missing: read the exact model and PCB revision, then identify the adapter.
  2. Offline installation: prepare the matching driver on another computer and transfer it by USB.
  3. Front audio only: compare rear output, playback selection and the case cable before repeating driver installs.

Open a guide that matches your exact model or stated scope. Make one change at a time and record the result.
