Hey guys, the onboard NIC for my current rig seems to have developed a few problems. I am not sure if its different symptoms of one problem or two separate problems.
1) The NIC seems to have problems with the default gateway, saying "The default gateway can not be found." The connection drops, and will not reconnect. After rebooting, resetting the CMOS, uninstalling the device in Device Manager and reinstalling with just the bare-bones driver, the problem persisted. Finally, I reset the device using Windows' "Diagnose" feature. This fixes the problem for a few minutes to a few hours...sometimes it doesn't fix the problem at all.
2) Sometimes the NIC disappears from the Network Adapter screen completely. A reboot fixes this, but does not fix problem #1.
I have verified that the problem is not in my router nor my cable. I swapped ports on the router, and plugged the cable into my laptop - everything works perfectly.
I've just submitted a ticket to MSI, as I thought this was quite strange. Does anyone have any other things I could try?
I am pretty sure the board is out of waranty, so If MSI says it's the board, I'm either going with an EVGA Z97 FTW (if you all think the upgrade is worth it, and if you all think my CPU cooler will fit) or just buying a NIC card.
EDIT: According to the MSI LiveUpdate tool, all drivers and the BIOS are up to date.
