Hi everyone ! I had just connected a Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3R motherboard to my case since i had spare parts and wanted to build a second machine. The PSU is relatively new, couple of months old, a 550W active pfc LC Power unit. It's not a high-end supply but it's ok. The machine runs on a E8400 Core2Duo with an aftermarket cooler (thermal compound changed today), 2GB of 1066mhz OCZ DDR2 - put in just to see if the machine is going to work; Radeon HD4850.
Now, the problem. The PC boots up fine, Windows 7 64bit runs fine, exepct for the internet. In Device manager i can see the drivers for the adapter are fine, it's a Realtek LAN, but in the bottom right corner of the tray, it says no Internet (No connections available.) When i troubleshoot, it says that the ethernet cable isn't connected (cable works fine on the other PC).
On the ethernet port itself, where you plug the cable in, both LEDs stay on - constantly, with the cable plugged in and out. Even when i try to restart the PC.
Now, the second issue. When i try to shut down the PC, it shuts down, but turns back on again, all by itself. I have to hold the power button in order to shut it down.
Please, any ideas ! Thanks to all !
