So confused on how to find motherboard drivers

So i did a full wipe of my PC and re-loaded my windows 7 home premium. It's an intel i7-4700mq processor with an nvidia 770m gtx gfx card.I ran CPU-Z and theres no manufacturer listed, but under motherboard it says "MS-1763
". It's a custom built PC i ordered a while back from Cyberpowerpc. Absolutely no idea how to find the drivers I need. Pretty much all my "other devices" in the device manager are missing drivers altogether (ethernet controller, PCI device, PCI simple comm controller, SM Bus controller and Universal serial bus controller. I've looked all over and can not for the life of me find anything helpful
 
After googling, looks like a MSI laptop board. Get drivers for the Intel HM87 chipset if you can't find any official MSI drivers.
 
I am looking on the intel download page and i dont see any list of drivers for that chipset. The Chipset
Device Software (INF Update Utility)

fails when i try to download it. Anyone have a direct link?
 
I found one for the alienware-13 model, but it is the same chipset as the intel hm87. SM Bus controller and Universal serial bus controller disappeared from the driver list, but ethernet controller, PCI device, PCI simple comm controller still have no drivers installed for them
 
Find out what ethernet or wireless chip is in it, once windows can connect to the internet it'll download the rest automatically.
 
To find out what hardware you have (nic, sound sata controller etc...) go into device manager. If you see any "unknown device" right click on it and select properties. Under the details tab select "hardware ID" from the drop down. You will see something like this"
"PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_10EF&SUBSYS_305317AA&REV_06". Google that and you will find out the make model and purpose of that hardware.

'For the ethernet hardware it's PCI\VEN_1969&DEV_E091&SUBSYS_10EC1462&REV_13
. I did google it but all i found was websites that require you to download some software to run it, and when you try to install it you have to enter a product key aka buy it.
And i am on the internet. it just hangs whenever i try to do that n i have to close it through the task manager
 
Have you tried just opening the case and looking to see if the motherboard has the model number printed on the board somewhere? Most do. From there, you should be able to download the drivers from the manufacturer web site.

Or perhaps contacting Cyberpower tech support and asking them?
 
If you did not wipe the recovery partition on the hard drive, then all your drivers are there.

In fact, you can put the computer back to it's factory delivered state if it has a recovery partition.
