Hi guys, recently a lighten storm arrived in my area and took all the power from my home for a few minutes. My pc was on during this and now my motherboard's Ethernet port doesn't work.
So I went and bought a PCIe Ethernet adapter as a replacement. (Along with a surge protector this time).
The installation for it went smoothly but now every time I want to shut off my PC, the screen will say, 'Now shutting off' and then the screen loses signal but my pc, keyboard and mouse are still lid and running. I can still shut it down completely by holding down the power button but now I have to keep doing this to fully shut it down.
I know it's the adapter because when I take it off, it shuts down normally.
So what do I do to make my pc shut down normally with this new Ethernet adapter?
Specs are:
-Windows 64*bit Ultimate
-32gb of DDR4 RAM
-i5 6600k *not overclocked*
-GTX 1070 4gb
