Windows missing drivers

[Minikronos]

So today i put in a new motherboard and a new CPU and then put all my parts into a new case. I turn on my computer and let it boot up. After waiting and a few times turning the computer on and off for various other reasons i found that my computer couldn't install a few certain drivers. Without these drivers i can't acces the internet and each time i plug in a USB it can't find it so i have no idea how i can install and update these following drivers:

- Ethernet Controller
- PCI Memory Controller
- PCI Simple Communications Controller
- SM Bus Controller
- Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller

and thoughts?

Use the disk that came with your MOBO.

I don't have a disk drive to put it in

If you have the mobo driver disk that would be your best bet, as Corwin65 already suggested.

IF you don't have that disk (or don't have a disk drive), you should be able to download the missing drivers from the motherboard's official website to a USB. You could then plug the USB into your new system to install the required drivers from there.

Find a friend and copy it to USB. Hopefully you can set the BIOS to boot from USB. Make sure it's no more than USB 2.0.

Or, see if you can borrow an optical drive (or buy one for $15)

when i plug my USB into my computer nothing comes up, it doesn't find the drive at all, not even in the disk management

Any chance you have a 2nd system (with USB 2 ports or a CD Drive) you could throw the HDD into in order to upgrade the drivers from there?

Borrow or buy an optical disk. BTW, how were you going to install windows?

BTW - you have to reinstall windows, if you change motherboard to different chipset, to avoid various problems.
Download and prepare drivers before the change.

i changed from a i3 to a i5, do i need to still re install windows? hmm

also i have the most incredible set up rn (due to some incredibly tight screws i can't remove the disk drive from my old case) i have managed to get a disk drive working on my computer and i can put the disk that came with my mobo into my computer

Glad to hear you were able to get a disc drive up and running.

Even though many people don't get them any more I personally still have at least one DVD drive sitting around just for situations like these.

Cheers

You said, you changed motherboard. From what model to what?
