Have you tried downloading the latest drivers from ASRock?
http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/H97%20Pro4/?cat=Download
Have you also tried installing the drivers from the device manager? Sometimes the auto install doesn't properly detect the OS for whatever reason.
Another possibility: Is the network adapter turned off in the bios?

2 small questions, how do i check that? Yesterday just come from school and the pc didn't connect to the internet (error 651) the modem was just fine...
And a driver, xfast lan, created a huuge crash whenever i use google chrome for 5 mins. that was on win 8.1 will it create problems on win 7?

I would start by uninstalling that xfast lan. It's not a driver, it's a program that acts as a network flow control, giving priority to programs that you select etc. These can really gum up the works when they don't work correctly.
Once the network adapter is working again, you can reinstall this program if you'd like to, but it's best to make everything as simple as possible to diagnose the problem.
Next, you can check if the network adapter is turned off in the bios by checking in the device manager within Windows. If the network adapter shows up as a 'generic/unknown network device/adapter' or some descriptor like that or if there is one labeled with the intel lan/device part number, then the adapter is turned on in the bios.
If no named or unnamed network adapter is showing in the device manager, then you'll need to enter the bios and find the 'Chipset Configuration' under the 'advanced' tab.
You'll want to check the 'onboard lan' tab about half way down the page here. It should be enabled.

Nope, under the device manager, you want to find 'Network Adapters' and then there should be either a named network adapter there or an unamed/unidentified network adapter (if the drivers are not installed).
Device manager can be found under the 'Hardware and Sound' tab of the control panel.
If there is no network adapter, either named or unnamed in that 'network adapter' section of the device manager, that usually means that it is disabled/turned off in the bios.

Right, if there is no network adapter tab, or any unidentified devices (should have a yellow triangle with an exclamation point inside of it), then it will need to be turned on in the bios.
If it IS turned on in the bios and it isn't showing up in device manager/no unidentified devices, then that would point to a motherboard issue.

They don't flicker even when you unplug and plug back in the network cord? I'd contact ASRock support, the network adapter might be inoperable.

I'm not sure, I'd triple check the device manager to see that it isn't showing an unidentified, generic or unnamed device, but sometimes it just happens. It usually seems with parts like that that they fail within the first few periods of use or not at all.
I've had a number of motherboards on customer builds fail after a few boots of windows, no amount of resets, diagnosing, parts swapping etc would get them to work.

Right, but just scan the other tab titles to make sure there aren't any generic or unidentified ones. Sometimes the system can't even recognize what it is supposed to be in order to categorize it.
Im having the same problem. onboard lan is turned on in the bios, but show unknown Ethernet controller in device manager. I've downloaded all the drivers from asrock but still cant get it. I actually went and bought a wifi card until I figure it out.
