Hello!
My cable modem is connected directly to the on-board LAN, and sometimes it happens that I loose the Internet connection (usually at system start-up). The system behaves like the LAN cable is unplugged. When I unplug the cable and plug it back, nothing happens in windows. Also, the LED is not blinking on the LAN, at all. In device manager everything is ok. Tried with another LAN cable, but no luck. The only thing that helps is to unplug the power cable from PSU, and plug it back.
I bought the mobo in August, but first time this problem happened 3 weeks ago, and then 2 times in last 5 days. First time it was when I restarted the windows, and the last two times it was in the morning, when I turned on the computer.
The driver is the latest, 7.037, but I had 7.034 when it started to happen.
The bios is F4b, I updated it right after I bought the mobo. At the begging, I lost the connection while I was playing, but the troubleshooter in control panel solved the problem every time. Then it suddenly stopped, and since then it happened maybe once or twice in 4 months.
Now the troubleshooter doesn't fix the problem. The only way is to completely turn off the computer. Restart and shut down doesn't change anything. I need to unplug the power cable, too.
Any suggestion?
Thanks.
