4] Reinstall driver from USB/DVD/CD or website

At times, a very old version of the driver management interface can cause such issues. If the same thing is happening to you, you can bypass the problem by uninstalling the existing version and reinstalling the latest version.
If you want to opt for the same old version, you can insert the motherboard media given to you by the manufacturer and continue with the installation process. However, if you want to install the latest version, you can head to the official website and download the installer.
