Yesterday the LAN adapter worked without any problems, as today I turned on the computer I noticed that it doesn't recognize any ethernet cables being plugged into it.
The adapter model is Realtek RTL8111E and I'm using Windows 7 64 bit.
I'd get it fixed without problems but the real thing comes here: the lights on the adapter aren't working, so basically it doesn't show any lights at all as it normally should show up 2 lights about if the ethernet cable is connected and how much of data is going in and out.

so I thought that the adapter could be broken but that wouldn't make any sense. As the computer haven't been touched after I shut it down yesterday and now suddenly it isn't working without any logic

I have tried reinstalling drivers, cmos reset, bios reset etc all that basic stuff.

Try different cable then try adaptor on different machine if it works elsewhere adaptor is fine. Restore back to when it was working in O.S. restore to previous working condition.
