Hello, So I just built this new PC. The specs are:

16 GB Corsair Vengeance Pro 2400 mhz RAM

GTX Titan

I7-4770K

Asus Maximus Vi hero

250 GB SSD (Samsung)

750w Power supply

Now, I opened it; installed the drivers and eventually added windows 8. Then once I connected it to Ethernet it showed me this after troubleshooting it: The Intel Ethernet Connection 1217-V adapter is experiencing driver or hardware problems?

Now I've tried going in Device manager enabling/disabling it or uninstalling and reinstalling
and shutting down my computer completely, but it still gives me the same error code when I right click the Intel Ethernet Adapter in device manager:

DEVICE STATUS:
This device cannot start. (Code 10)

(Operation Failed)

I really need a fix for this as I really wanna start up my pc and test its capabilities. So please I hope someone has a fix.
