Hello friends,

I have the following setup :


Mobo : Asus Crosshair formula V
Processor : AMD FX 9590
Graphics card : AMD raedon R9 270
Cooler : Corsair H80i
Case : Corsair 400r
PSU : Corsair XFX 850

Whenver I plug the ethernet cable, the cooler goes bonkers and very very loud and after some time it causes BSOD with tcpip.sys as the failure. As I read on the net, I must update the driver. I have tried uninstalling the driver provided by microsoft and then install the v27 provided by Intel http://, unfortunately, the driver is not getting upgraded. What am I doing wrong. Here is the screenshot after installing the driver provided by Intel and restart of system as well.

Any help would be nice as I would like to use ethernet. Thank you.

the driver is being installed on your machine, but you will have to select it as the default driver.

if you just remove it in device manager, windows plug and play will put it back.

I think I have 12 different versions of my driver for my intel network chip on my machine now.
4 from microsoft and 8 from intel.

you can use the pnputil.exe command to remove old versions of the driver

edit: windows 10 does not show the version number of the driver when you select it

before windows 10 when you select the driver it does not show the time or version number so it is very hard to tell which one to select, they will all have the same name. (which is why i used the...

Internet via ethernet is unplugged, I have plugged a wireless usb reciever which I am using for connecting to internet.
After I had uninstalled the driver, I had the yellow mark in device manager in unknown devices. I did a restart, and it went away. I thought a restart is required to finalize the installation.

I have unplugged the ethernet cable, I can plug it and try to take a photo when BSOD happens, but it says because of tcpip.sys is what I know. As I read on net, its a driver issue. Is that correct?

before windows 10 when you select the driver it does not show the time or version number so it is very hard to tell which one to select, they will all have the same name. (which is why i used the pnputil.exe to remove the old driver packages)

to use the UI, you go into windows control panel, device manager, find the network device, right click, select properties, select the driver tab, select update driver,
Now, select browse my computer for driver software
select let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer

now you will see a stupid list of drivers that all look the same but are actually different versions of the driver.
i just tried it, and windows 10 is still stupid and shows me 6 versions with no version number or file dates.

you can randomly pick one but i would just delete the old ones using the pnputil.exe command

I have 3 network cards on this machine, (all intel cards) each one had a different driver version.
(just because I could not see the version numbers when i selected the driver)

This finally worked, now I will test for sometime if I am getting a BSOD, hopefully not. I have another lan card which I am planning to install as I have 2 internet connections(different providers). Can Windows 10 manage different internet connections at the same time. Thank you.
 
yes, windows can handle access to more than one provider at a time.
It is called multi home networking, you should google something like "how to setup multi homed network"

you should be selective on what network card you get, I get the intel ones just because they have lots of money to burn and the keep updating the drivers for years after their competitors have stopped. They also do very good testing on their drivers so there is less of a chance of bugs (if you keep the driver up to date) The intel drivers seem to work well if your run a hyperviser
(like when you run virtual operating system on your machine. for example, run windows 10 with windows 8.1 in a hyperviser, or linux or windows 7. or all of them at the same time on one machine.



their drivers can also bind several cards to act as one high speed network connection. (Microsoft can do this also)
