I just reformatted my windows 7 and can't get connected to the internet. I likely think I need mobo drivers but when I go to the above page, I have no clue which ones I need?

Do I need all of them for the mobo to function properly?

I would assume the 3 primary ones -- chipset - lan and audio the chipset is best to use the latest ones - lan most times aint covered under windows default drivers [built in to windows] and audio my be the same but still you want latest drivers for it as well
[opinion]

then check device manager after them 3 been installed

lest make that 4 -usb3 driver- not native in windows 7 as well [sorry ]


if you feel you need the intel cpu video [onchip] that as well - [I don't use it so I don't have it installed and should work default anyway ]
