There is big suite of software which doesn't run on windows 10 and it's just easier to have it on windows 7. Stop trying to push windows 10, microsoft already does that.

Hi:

You probably have to install the AMD chipset drivers first, restart the PC and then install the ethernet driver.

I believe the smbus controller controls the communications from the motherboard to the ethernet controller.

You probably are missing the smbus controller driver.

You want the first file listed on the webpage.

If you still get the error, shut down the PC, unplug it and remove the battery for approximately 10 minutes.

I got it working.

I installed all amd chipset drivers first but even then the setup for ethernet which you linked gave me an error. (findfile failed, plug in cable and some error about deep sleep) After some googling I found this driver from the realtek website which worked. I'm sharing my findings in case someone stumbles upon this from google. My system is fully working now.

Glad you got it working.

Yes, I should have given you that link too.

I use it all the time.

I just figured the driver on the g000 support page would have worked on your model with no issues.
