I downgraded my HP computer (p7-1446s) from Windows 8 to Windows 7 64x OS and all the device drivers are gone. Did I mistakenly delete them by deleting all the partitions while downgrading? In any case, at the moment I need to find the proper drivers to download back to the computer so it can properly work. Can anyone help provide links to download the correct drivers? Here are the hardware IDs of a few drivers. Let me know if you need any additional information.

BCM20702A0:
