I have just done a fresh reinstall, and the ethernet driver was still there...I seriously have no idea how it's there. I will give that driver a go.

If you have a cheap switch (or a router that you can turn the router bits off on) then try hooking that up in between your PC and the ethernet cable. Sometimes component tolerances do weird things.

I am afraid I don't have anything to do that with. I'm starting to think it's an issue with this "ghost driver". I shouldn't have these drivers installed as of right now but yet they still exist.

After a full reformat, the problem still persists. Will be getting a new cable soon as I can and installing it.

To save yourself getting the floor boards up, just run the new cable directly on the carpet for now until you definitely know its the issue. Just don't trip over it

Yeah, it'll be that for now, if it fixes the issue I'll then put it under the floorboards again lol.

I had this issue on an Alienware laptop.

It was the killer drivers which were the issue.

Problem was resolved by removing them and replacing with non-killer drivers.
