I am having a strange situation. I deleted all of my partitions and formatted my hard drives for a fresh install. Some of these saying I had important device manufacture installs. I wasn’t 100% sure what that actually meant when I did this but.. I hope I didn’t brick my video card because I went into device manager and all of my PCI adapters are unknown and under details it says "unknown manufacture" … is there hope still and a possible fix?? Do I need to flash my bios. I already tried to bios flashback. any help would be great cause I would hate to brick a 3080, thanks for anyone’s time and help

Edit: I also want to note that either my net port isn’t working but I gave up as it was late in the night along with my other Wi-Fi card also isn’t working, all saying something similiar within the details in properties. I mean ALL PCI are throwing flags and I’m not understanding why. Checked bios and doesn’t see I have a video card but just says nvidia and not the actual name which would be a RTX 3080

Specs are.
Ryzen 9 5950x
Motherboard b550F strix rog asus
32GB g skill
Rtx 3080
1000w plat be quiet
All equipment was new couple years at least or not close to fairly newish system
Windows 11

Leave BIOS alone.
Download all drivers on another computer. Copy onto flash drive.
Bring flash drive to this computer and install drivers.

BTW - what is precise/full model name of motherboard? b550F strix rog asus is not a full name.
You can find it with cpu-z - motherboard section. It's also written on motherboard itself.
ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING
ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING (WI-FI)
ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING WIFI II

For graphics card you'll need to download drivers from nvidia.

Be sure to add in the PSU: make, model, wattage, age, condition (original to build, new, refurbished,used).

I think that the starting point is the "fresh install" - what procedure or process was followed?

Source for Windows 11?

As I understand the described issues it appears that the device drivers need to be updated. And that the default Windows drivers are not perhaps as they should be.

Another thought is that the CMOS battery is weak and the system is reverting to default BIOS settings which may be causing conflicts. Try installing a new CMOS battery as a matter of elimination.

If you look in Reliability History/Monitor what error codes, warnings, or even informational events are being captured?

Critical errors (red) being the most important to discover and fix.

I can explain the steps I took to try to reinstall windows. I had a windows 11 free updated version. When I went into BIOS it asked if I wanted to go back to previous settings or not I click ok or cancel I clicked ok (asks this every time I go into my BIOS never used to do that before)

I continued anyway. Booting my windows media from my flash drive to install windows. I deleted all partitions I had and formatted my drive that just left the two hard drives to load windows on some partitions had said it had important manufacturing files on them. I still deleted the partitions. (Is it possible this could be important hardware files to tell what device is connected in PCI?)

At first I couldn’t install windows as it said "system doesn’t meet requirements" which was insane to me. It took multiple attempts for windows to actually try to install it would just restart in the middle of it but finally it did but I couldn’t do a full install of windows setup cause no internet connection.

Since after I checked device manager and all my PCI are yellow ! Flagged and display is a virtual one. Not my rtx 3080 my CPU shows as it. I checked BIOS to try and fine the name of my video card it says it’s just a nividia card not it’s actual name such as RTX 3080 as it should

it doesn’t show what the manufacturer is when I go into details of the flagged parts. And sadly no I don’t have a backup of those files … were they important in identifying the device themselves like on a hardware level is it possible to brick components by removing files from the device themselves idk how these files would have been able to even become part of a partition ad loaded like that… I restarted my computer when I had gotten my rtx 3080 and did same thing deleted my partitions and left only hard drives before. For a clean restart… it doesn’t make sense to me how this could have happened.

MOD EDIT
Another thing is when I check properties say my network controller says drives aren’t installed code 28 then says there are no comparable drivers for this device and then continues it says update drive to update but I can’t update without a connection would putting the drives on a flash drive be the solution to this problem finding all of my drivers for video card and motherboard be needed to fix this problem?

ok I will be sure to do that soon as I can. See if they can install and load properly and have internet access again. Another question what is with the encryption and decryption is flag I have never seen that before or what that is for could you help me understand a litttle? Is that cause of chipset isn’t installed?? Or something more wrong

Would I also need to have nvidia control panel install for it to see and recognize my video card again? And do all of this manually never had this happen before sorry for all the silly questions
