I just bought a GA-EP35-DS3R. Everything went smoothly in the setup except that the networking seems to not work. I get no light turning on when I plug the network cable in, and the OS says that no network cable is plugged in. I can move the same cable to another system and it works fine. I have verified the internal LAN option is enabled in the BIOS.
I'm worried the mobo is simply defective. Any ideas before I start trying to do an RMA? I'd hate to have to rebuild the whole system (including remounting the CPU heatsink) for nothing, but I'm stumped here.
Other specs:
Intel E8400, GeForce 8800GTS, 425w PSU
