x_6985381 Posted August 21, 2008 CID Share Posted August 21, 2008 Ever since I have received my replacement motherboard from EVGA, I can no longer see the orange light on the Ethernet port, green flashes like a raped ape, but no orange. Could this simply be a driver error, also when I boot and everything loads it says limited connection, but then connects itself. Any clue as to how to go about fixing this?

Could this simply be a driver error, also when I boot and everything loads it says limited connection, but then connects itself. Any clue as to how to go about fixing this? Is it possible the adapter is set to half duplex ? I would first reset the modem and the router, then do a reboot, that normally will fix it.

x_6985381 Posted August 21, 2008 Author CID Share Posted August 21, 2008 Alright I've troubleshooted, reset and restarted, and forced 100mbps full-duplex. Still no lil orange light. Hmph, also I just after restarting because I cleaned out my Ethernet drivers and all the drivers needed for the system, found that it would not post, it would get to verifying DMI pool data, and simply freeze. I think I might be sending this motherboard back, Ethernet port doesn't work, Freeze while verifying, I don't know. What should I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To verify this, just remove the router from the network for a minute, reboot everything of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buntz Posted August 21, 2008 CID Share Posted August 21, 2008 In your other thread you said you were unstable before you updated the BIOS. Did you do a fresh install of windows after the update? Windows could be corrupted from a bad install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x_6985381 Posted August 22, 2008 Author CID Share Posted August 22, 2008 I do not have a router first of all only a modem. I might try a fresh install of vista later today, I believe it could be because the install was so messed up. I'll try it later this morning.

x_6985381 Posted August 25, 2008 Author CID Share Posted August 25, 2008 EVGA requested I send it back, as they are going to be sending me another motherboard. Sweet, now for the wait... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
