My computer's onboard Ethernet port stopped working. It says its connected to the internet but my programs/software/games says I'm not connected. No data is being sent or received. So I thought the port went bad and I bought a new Ethernet card and installed it.
On the new card I will get the internet for about 1 minute and then the new Ethernet port stops working and shows a yellow triangle. If I restart my computer or disable and enable the new card I can use it again for another minute. I've tried updating drivers, uninstalling drivers, reinstalling drivers...nothing works.
I have windows 10 running on the computer since july 30th I've had no problems with it. Yesterday morning it was working fine and when I came home at night I turned the computer on and the internet no longer works. I did a system restore back to the install date and that didn't work. I finally reinstalled a fresh copy of windows 10.
I still have the same problem the Onboard Ethernet says its connected to the internet but i receive no data and the new one that I installed gets the internet for 1 minute and stops until I restart the computer. When I installed the new Ethernet port I made sure to disable the onboard port first.
So I can't figure out whats wrong with it. If it was software issues when I reinstalled windows it should have fixed it.
The only other thing I can think of is that something is wrong with the motherboard. If anyone can offer me any advice that would be great. Also I prefer to use a Ethernet cord because I play alot of games online and the router is sitting next to my computer. and I don't own a wifi card or usb stick.
My computer is an AMD specs:
Gigabyte Motherboard Ga 970 A UD3,
FX 8 core 8320 3.5 GHZ,
Geforce 550 Ti,
16 GB Ram,
256 SSD
600 watt power supply
