So i bought this motherboard off newegg from here

The main problem is that the internet does not stay connected. It will usually work for about an hour or so then it will all of a sudden just stop working and I have to restart my computer to get it to work again. I have never had this problem with any other motherboard (I have tested multiple motherboards with everything else the same). All other devices in my household are working as intended.

I ended up getting this MOBO over a month ago and I had the same problem as I do now. So I sent it back and just received the new one. The thing is that it is still doing the same thing. Which makes me think it is most likely something on my end. I have tried reinstalling the network drivers, then i tried a different driver and still nothing.

I am just stuck. I have no clue what to do in this situation. Any help would be much appreciated. I am getting to the point where it is not worth my time to try and fix this. If i can't get this to work i am probably gonna have to send it back and see if I can get my money back (which is a pain in the ass).

PS. When the Internet disconnects it goes to that Yellow triangle down in the bottom right on my taskbar.

PPS. I am using Windows 7. and have 4up and 60down internet


Reposting because the problem came back. It also seems that it happens more often when I am using more bandwith, such as playing multiplayer games and watching streams on Twitch. I also tried a different ethernet cable and that did not work. (it worked a little better but still a huge problem)

I contacted Asrock support and they said to update my bios and then install a different driver. It works a little bitter but it is still not working as it should. It worked for about an hour of playing games then it disconnected again. So i disabled and re-enabled the network adapter and it was only staying connected for a few seconds at a time.
