Partitioned hard drive and now mobo not detecting gpu

Long story short my psu was bad which I thought was my hard drive so I partitioned it and I no longer have my driver installation disc that came with my mobo. My pc is running fine but I think I am missing a driver because my pc is not detecting my gpu at all not even in my bios it says both my pci-e slots are empty and gpu fan doesn’t start at all but gpu was fine prior to my psu failing. I contacted asus(mobo manufacturer) but they won’t help without a serial number which I can not find on my mobo. I installed all the drivers on their website that pertain to my mobo but when I open the file and click on “asussetup” it says “asussetup does not support this operating system wnt_10.0p_64”. In my system about it says I have win10 64 but and in my system information it says my motherboard is the asus z170-p d3. Also when I attempt to install nvidia drivers it says my OS isn’t compatible with the drivers I selected. Plz help

the problem is the Asus installer package
see if this helps
I select OS = Win10x64, download the zip file indicated to install Intel ME Driver 1140. Unzip, Run AsusSetup.exe on my Win10x64 system and I get popuyp that says "Win 10" not supported. I looked through the AsusSetup.ini files and see that only Win7 is defined. I changed the ini file, adding win10 support, and rerun successfully.

Device Manager shows ME Driver 1140 installed and running successfully.

Asus support people: Better double check the files your support/driverUtilities URL is downloading.

Everyone else: If hitting same wall, here is what I did:
  1. unzip file
  2. edit HotFix_X64/AsusSetup.ini
  3. add following starting after line 10 (after WIn7 OS description lines)
;WNT_10.0P_32 = Win10_32
WNT_10.0P_64 = Win10_64
;WNT_10.0P_32_MCE = Win10_32
WNT_10.0P_64_MCE = Win10_64
;WNT_10.0H_32_MCE = Win10_32
WNT_10.0H_64_MCE = Win10_64
;WNT_10.0H_32 = Win10_32
WNT_10.0H_64 = Win10_64
4) save, execute Hotfix_X64/AsusSetup.exe

It will run now and install 1140 driver OK, I think you just see a flash, no messages or popups.

Another option is make a post on that Asus forum as surely someone there has seen this problem before and has a solution. Then come back and tell us how :)

I resolved the sm bus and pci controller error issue(I will update everything once I find a solution) and in that post I went to device manager and they were saying they had an exclamation point next to intel management engine interface mine says it’s running fine and I checked for updates and it’s up to date. I’ll post in asus forums hopefully I get some better luck cuz this is frustrating lol thanks for the reply

Unfortunately I cannot post in the forums for up to 24 hours and that’s if I get approved. I posted in the asus subreddit thread 2 days ago and have bumped yesterday and a few hours ago but no replies.
