Hello all, I recently uninstalled windows. I then made my 160 GB drive into 3 partitons, one for windows, one for linux, and one for OS X. Yeah, on a dell. OSx86. you should check it out :)

So, i then reinstalled windows, and thats where i am now. I use this driver, http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/DriverDetails/DriverFileFormats?DriverId=TPGN8&FileId=2731100709, but when i install this driver, it doesnt work? I run the file, hit install, let it run, reboot my comp, when i am at the windows home screen i plug in my ethernet cord. but  the computer doesnt read the cord. i have confirmed that it works by plugging it into another computer, so it is with my comp. i installed the chipset and NIC. i was planning to install the rest through windows update, but since i can't access the internet i cant. i have been on dell support chat 3 times, but all 3 they can't fix it...

You guys are my last hope. Please help.

Also, my fans run very loudly. I have the case always left open becuase i am always switching GeForce nVidea 8400 GS. this model graphics card has a fan built in. can you guys help?
