[Nurreckit]

So the other night i made some bad descisions about deleting some stuff and before i could stop to actually check i deleted something that now i cant reconnect to the inernet. Computer specs below if it helps. - Intel Core i5 6600K CPU
- NVIDIA GTX 970 4GB
- 8GB DDR4 2666MHz Memory
- 250GB Samsung EVO SSD
- 1TB 7200RPM HDD
- Upgraded CPU Air Cooling
- Z170 Motherboard
- 750W Power Supply
- DVD-R/RW/CD-R/RW

while using a system that can connect: go to manufacturer website, download new driver, copy to Z170 system, install.

if you still have your motherboard's install disk older versions will also be stored there.

You could just try deleting from device manager and re-boot. It may just re-install. Good luck!
