Title: Realtek Lan Driver not working on EP45-UD3P
Post by: vscott83 on July 06, 2010, 09:14:56 pm

Not sure where to post this but here I go. Fresh Windows 7 64bit install. First start and every subsequent start I get the Code 10 this device failed to start error. I have reinstalled windows over 5 times now and almost 8 reinstalls of the Realtek driver. Nothing seems to be working. Latest version of this motherboard, and also latest version of the Lan driver directly from the Gigabyte website. Someone help! :(

Are you sure that you downloaded the correct 64bit driver?

Yes as there is only 1 Win7 64 bit driver. I also tried installing a Win7 32bit os and trying the 32bit driver. This still hasn't solved the problem. It still displays the device can not start

Also, when I uninstall and let windows reinstal the default driver at reboot, windows tells me the device driver software does not sucessfully install

Are you using the latest BIOS update  for your motherboard?

One last thing, letting the gigabyte install disc handle the driver installation doesnt work either :\

Have you tried the Realtek Ethernet Diagnostic Utility that you can download from the same place as the LAN drivers?

Right, can you list all of your hardware components please?

Have you tried the other NIC? Your motherboard has two.

When the cable is not plugged in for the NIC do you still get a error code?

To be sure your getting the right one redownload “Win7 32/64 Auto Installation Program” from here.

History
Have the NIC's worked before with another OS?
Is this a new build?
