Yesterday something weird happened.
I was at a friends house, and and plugged my Ethernet cable from my pc into his router, but nothing happened. I tried resetting the router several times, tried different ports, and also tried 3 different Ethernet cables with no success, yet my other 2 friends had no problems (wireless and cable).
It just said "Not connected" and when I did "troubleshoot" it just said plug in Ethernet cable.
When I came home nothing had changed, I still couldn't connect to the internet, so I tried the usual reset router & modem several times, still nothing, I also tried resetting my BIOS settings to default without any success.
I also noticed that my PC went from taking 2mins to start up to 5mins.
When I went to "Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections" it was blank, and I realized it had to be a software/hardware problem.
When I went and checked "Device Manager" there weren't even a "Network adapters", wondering how the [language] this happed I searched my motherboard, and installed the Network driver: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3010#dl
"Realtek LAN Driver" but during the installation it said:
"Realtek Ethernet Controller Driver
The Realtek Network Controller was not found. If Deep Sleep Mode is enabled Please Plug the Cable."
and ended the installation after.
Now when I press "troubleshoot" I says:
"Install a driver for your network adapter
Windows did not detect a properly installed network adapter. If you have a network adapter, you will need to re-install the driver."
When I look on the back of my computer, the bulb next to the Ethernet port lights solid, even when
I unplug the cable, but there is no flashing light.
So what do I do? Can the problem be solved by re-installing windows, installing other kind of software, buying a new ethernet port or adapter?
My setup is:
CPU: Phenom II x4 965
RAM: 4GB DDR3 CL7
GFX: 5850 CF
MB: GA-MA790XT-UD4P
HDD: WD Black WD1502FAEX 1.5TB
