Hello, I recently helped a friend test his Video card and in the process I uninstalled my Video drivers (Radeon HD 6970) and reinstalled them after testing the card. Somehow during the process the Intel network adapter seemed to have vanished. It is missing from device manager and adapter settings. I've tried reinstalling the LAN drivers, the chipset drivers, and updated my BIOS, all to no avail. The board is less than a year old and I'm not sure what happened. I'm running windows 7 64 bit. I apologize if I missed anything but my mind is burnt out from spending the last few hours trying to fix it. I'm afraid it may be hardware side.
