Issue with NIC when booting PC up

[Andybtsn]

Hi guys,

This has only happened in the past week but everytime I boot up my PC the network adaptor is not working correctly and I have to uninstall, scan for network changes (reinstalls itself) and then it works.



The mobo is an Gigabyte Z87X-OC Intel Z87.

I've had this build for over two weeks now and like I said this only started happening in the past few days.

Any reason what could cause this?

I have the latest driver installed.

Two questions..

Did you have Virtualbox installed?
-Did you then install Windows 8.1 preview?

Mine got trashed when doing this, in the meantime the only way I can use the internet is by adding a wireless usb adapter, tried a whole range of things to fix the issue.

Can't work out what the fix is. Going to wait until 8.1 final appears and just install that as a new install.

Hi mate,

Nothing changed on the PC as far as I'm aware and I don't yet have 8.1

Reinstalled Windows 8 and its doing it from the off. So annoying now.

Weird, BIOS update?

Get the latest driver from Intel?

Also, possibly try this?

Not using any weird 3rd party firewall are you?

Try completely resetting your bios too.

Flashed bios. Rebooted. db error on mobo ("DB = Flash Update is Failed" in the manual)

Brilliant! PC just keeps rebooting and won't post. Took CMOS out for a bit but looks like ill have to take it out for the night?

Doesn't that board have Gigabyte's dual bios feature? If it has you should still be able to boot and retry the flash.

Had a HP Workstation do this about a month ago. After about an hour on the phone with support taking memory, cable, batteries out, they sent an techie with a new motherboard the next day
