HELP!!!
To recount the tale in full:
Last Saturday, I tried to install a new GPU into my motherboard, only to learn that it was incompatible with the converter I use to make it speak to my monitor.
As such, I promptly removed the GPU, pending acquisition of a compatible converter, reinstalling my old hd 6970 GPU.
I believe Windows 10 updated itself at some point during this process, the result being that the internet connection was disabled.
I eventually tried a system restore of Windows 10, assuming that this would reinstall the driver for the Network adapter.
It hasn't.
Since then, I've tried just about everything I could find - tried pinging my router (which I know works) tried forcing it to update the driver
latest attempt has been to update the driver via the software that came with my motherboard, which yields the error message "This Driver can't release to fiel".
I have absolutely no idea what that even means.
My question is essentially, what the heck do I do now?
