Just to be perfectly clear, the ethernet had been working fine under Windows 7, right? Is your BIOS the current version (if you have been going to the ASRock site I assume they are). Since the drivers on the ASRock site are about a year out of date you might have better luck going to the Intel website and downloading your LAN drivers from there.

It was working with windows 7, but I was only using windows 7 for about 15 minutes while I downloaded windows 8 to upgrade to windows 8.1. I couldn't have picked a worst way to get my system to 8.1. I'm not sure I'd know which version of BIOS I have or if it's up to date, but I did install all the other drivers when I loaded the windows 7, which drivers from Intel should I grab?

A quick search leads to this: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/21642/Network-Adapter-Driver-for-Windows-8- You could also try right-clicking the ethernet controller in Device Manager and tell Windows to update driver - it might find a suitable one on its own, too.

Unfortunately, it didn't when I tried that with high hopes for 8.1. I'll try that one, thanks man. Edit: It worked! Thanks man, you're a gem. Texibus fucked around with this message at 02:35 on Mar 2, 2015 |
