I just put together my desktop with a z87-g45 mobo and the ethernet isnt working anymore. It was working on the first night that i put everything together but after bringing it to school it says that there is no internet access. Even though when i connect the ethernet cable to my laptop there is internet access

I was afraid that you were going to say Win 8 -- I've seen a number of issues lately with the Killer Networks adapter on 8.
You can try changing the adapter MAC address, which has worked for a few people, using the free app from HERE.
If that fails, I would contact MSI and tell them it doesn't work and that you need a driver that works with 8.1 or an RMA.

Also check that you have the latest BIOS, these came out with flaky NICs and they released a BIOS update to 'fix' the problem

That or go with a wireless adapter (if you have wireless), have seen (hands on) a half dozen of these having problems like this - hopefully they'll get another BIOS update, that will fix more, can't believe they sent them out knowing of the problems, though MSI has done this before

Woah, I am about to buy the MSI Z87-GD45 tomorrow and saw this post. So I shouldn't freak out and just make sure I update the bios. Hopefully everything will work out.

Hopefully, I myself just don't touch MSI, I get more problem calls on their mobos than any two other manufacturers put together (
and I don't even build on MSI)

I don't mind the brand (yet?) and have friends with MSI products with minor or no issues. I did not want to go with the board but its the only board that fits my needs and that I can get a nice discount on. $134.99 for a board that runs around $170 pushed me to go for it.
