No Network Adapter

[Tylexander The Great]

I just bought a new motherboard and installed everything but once I get into the desktop my Ethernet cord will not connect me to the internet. I already tested the cord on my lap top and it works fine but when I connect it to my desktop is doesnt work. I tried installing LAN drives from my mother CD and it says some like "No Network cannot be found, Get computer out of Deep Sleep Mode then replug the cord back in. I cant get my motherboard out of Deep Sleep mode if I dont have a Network Adapter in my Device Manager. Please if anyone can help me find a Solution it would make my life stress free.

Cpu: Amd Eight Core Processor 8250 FX
Psu: 725 Watt Sentey
GPU: Msi r9 270 Twin Frozr
HDD: Western Digital 1tb
Mobo: Asus Sabertooth 990FX

Please Help Me Thank you

Make sure the network adapter is enabled in the bios.

+1 make sure you installed the drivers that came with the motherboard. Usually on CD, you may have to transfer them to USB stick if you do not have a cdrom drive in your pc.

Also, windows update can usually find drivers, but not if you cannot connect. Do you have a wireless USB stick you can use until the MB ethernet is working ?

+1 also for Popatim's BIOS comment. If the ethernet is disabled in bios, and you did not do it then its a good time to use the 'reset to default' 'SAVE' function in your BIOS. There may be other things funky in the bios settings.
