GB-MA770-US3 (Rev 2.0) - No LAN although enabled in BIOS

[Henke81]

Hi, I've bought a new GB-MA770-US3 mobo and run Vista 32-bit and I can't get the LAN driver to be installed at all.
When going through the driver setup it tells me that No LAN device can be found and when looking in the device manager, the line "network card" isn't even there! I've tried to use the "look for hardware changes" option but no network card can be found (there isn't an "unknown device"-warning at the top neither).
I've double checked the BIOS LAN device setting and tried to disable it, reboot, enable it again,  but no luck.
What can be wrong?

Hi
Have you installed the motherboard chipset drivers?

[Henke81]

Hi, yes. But I'm suspecting  it's something wrong with my Vista version now after taken a closer look. Will install Win 7 instead, post if the prob persist.

Hi, I've installed Win 7 and the network driver is still gone!! I've installed the chipset driver and all.
What to do??!

If you have done a format and reinstall of the operating system and reloaded the chipset drivers for the motherboard I would say it is most likely a hardware fault with the board. You will need you arrange an RMA.
