I am rapidly approaching my wits end with my new Maximus X Hero (wifi) motherboard. I replaced a 2500k and asus mobo with the Hero and 8700k. The system posted and booted up just fine from the get go. I installed the Intel chipset and tried to install other drivers from the included asus CD. I cannot get the following drivers to actually install:
Realtek audio
Intel Lan
Asus wi-fi
Asus Bluetooth
Consequently the pc has no internet access. I went to the asus website on an old laptop and tried downloading drivers directly from there to a sub drive. I tried to install them on the main system and no dice.
Upon further research it seemed the issue might be an outdated bios... so I downloaded the 0505 bios from the asus website (to a fat32 formatted usb drive) and tried to flash the bios via the ezflash utility in the uefi. No luck. Further research led me to believe I needed to change the cap file name to m10h.cap or m10hwifi.cap. Neither worked.
Am I missing something or might I have a defective board?
