(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So I've got this desktop sitting in my living room that nobody uses. It's in good condition, but the chipset ethernet card in it doesn't detect any connection for some reason. I can't go buy a new ethernet card until next week, so I was wondering if anyone knows any way I might be able to go about fixing this?

Ok thats fine, just let me know when you have that done.

Go to device manager then the "Network Adapters" tab under that is there something with a yellow ! next to it if so what is it called if theres nothing i can't help and you will most likely need a new one.

Unless it's a custom build in a branded chassis, then you only need to provide us with the Make and model number and you will get the drivers a lot faster

Hey, today I went and bought a new Ethernet card for the computer and all is working fine, but I'm having a new problem. No sound. It seems that the chipset sound card is acting up as well. I've had this problem on nearly every desktop I've ever owned and usually a simple driver download solved the problem, but I don't know which driver to get. If you need me to post the specs I can do so now.

Post the specs just in-case this doesn't work -

Click start, right click computer, then click properties.
Click the hardware tab, then click device manager, and if you see something with a yellow ! next to it, then right click it and click update driver.

Didn't work.

For the specs can't I just go to system tools and system information and give you a screenshot of that instead of downloading the program?

Yeah go ahead, i only asked for the motherboard info so i could find the chipset, but go ahead ad get me a screenshot.
