Seems my NIC on my 965P_DS3 has stopped working on XP

Hardware is ok (no errors in device mangler), have got the latest drivers from Marvell but symptoms remain the same, flashing orange light on the NIC, and no lights on the switch.

When I reboot the machine, the light comes on on the switch port the pc is connected to, and all looks fine, but as soon as it windows starts booting up the light on the switch port goes off and the network port on the motherboard starts flashing orange.

Windows says "Cable disconnected" although it was fine before.

So I popped a Intel PCI network card in there on the same cable and its fine.

Any tips/pointers? Its a rev 1 board. F12 bios.
 
Does it work in another OS (*nix live CD, say)? Is the card set to autonegotiate or is it manually set to any speed or duplex?
