[SOLVED] Motherboard drivers outdated?Can't do anything

[jponza]

I just built my new pc based off of a motherboard that my cousin gave me. I simply bought a new processor, ram, and gpu and added in my ssd and 2 hard drives.

Here's the problem:
It seems that the motherboard is outdated or something. I can't connect to the internet via ethernet(red X on the small icon) and none of the USB ports recognize my USB stick. And, my mouse and keyboard will only work in BIOS unless I have Mouse and Keyboard Simulator enabled in the BIOS.

Specs:
Mobo - ASUS Prime Z370-A
CPU - i7-8700K
GPU - EVGA 1060 3GB
RAM - G-SKILL 16GB DDR4 3000MHZ
PSU - Corsair CX500M

Fresh install windows . Follow this guide.

Create an up to date USB install media by following the steps outlined here:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/software-download/windows10

Then disconnect or disable all hdd /ssd drives but the one where you will install windows.

Insert the USB media tool, with the windows install files, into the board. Next startup and go to the board setup and ensure the board is configured to use UEFI boot settings, CSM is enabled and SATA mode set to AHCI.

On the motherboard boot device menu, select the command that identifies both the firmware mode and the device. For example, select UEFI: USB Drive or Windows Boot Manager: USB and list that device in the first boot slot on the board.


Reboot. Install begins.

When choosing an installation type, select Custom. On new disks, the drive will show a single area of unallocated space. If there are partitions, select each one and then "delete".

Select the unallocated space and click Next. Windows detects that the PC was booted into UEFI mode, partitions the drive using the GPT and begins the installation.

NOTE: Any data on the drive will be lost
