So i was playing an online game and my screen went black. I pressed the reset button next to the power button, the pc restarted and everything was okay. After that i noticed that i have no internet connection but my router was working. After i went into device manager i saw an exclamation sign next to NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller. This is the error that was showing in properties:

Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

{Bad Image}

%hs is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support. Error status 0x

I am able to connect to internet trough hotspot tho but it's really slow and i can't keep my phone plugged into the pc all day.

 Could someone tell me what caused this issue and how to fix it?

    That's what the link above is for. I would recommend using version 1709.

    The only other thing i can suggest is re-imaging it to an older windows 10 version and then pausing the feature updates so it doesn't try to update.

    Older machines newer versions of Windows sometimes breaks hardware.

    Below is a link to get on older version.

    I would recommend version 1709. I am still running that on my surface pro 4.

    I did everything above already. When I uninstall it, I just exit the device manager and it's back. Also I couldn't find the drivers I need on the vendor's website. At this point I might give up on this pc as I had a lot of issues with it. I tried everything to fix the issue, nothing worked and I don't see anyone having the issue I do.

    Hi Table

    My name is Sarah Kong and I am an independent adviser that is here to try and help you with your issue.

    Try these steps.

    Select the Start button, type Device Manager, and select it from the list of results.

    Expand your controller then right-click (or tap and hold) it, and select Update Driver.

    Select Search automatically for updated driver software and follow the on-screen instructions to update the drivers.

    If no updates were found, then right-click on the mouse select Uninstall.

    Restart your PC and Windows will attempt to reinstall the driver.

    And if none of the above works then best to go to the vendors site and download the latest drivers for your device.

    So for example, if your computer is a Dell Latitude then you would go here.

    http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/produ...

    Make sure to download the drivers for the system type of your machine.

    To find this out go search and type system.

    Look for the system type.

    It will either be 32bit or 64bit.
