First off, its not a connection problem persee; Other computers in the house and broadband TV works without any issues. I have been in touch with BT who have assured me the connection is fine - as it appears to be to me. I have swapped ethernet cables and tried different ports on the router.

I bought a 'Titan Goliath' Intel Core 7 System on 16/05/09 - despite repeated attempts to contact Systems Support via phone I have been unable to get through - phone many times a day and it is engaged.

I contacted on Support they said very busy and post here.

I have been running Windows 7 some time (on old computer) without issues and when new arrived I decided to try it. Worked without hitch for two weeks - better than Vista.

However, for a little over a week now I have issues connecting.

It got so bad I even tried installing Vista. I got the message:

Windows Network Diagnostics...
There are driver or hardware problems with the network adapter "Realtek RTL8168/8111 Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.0) on this computer.

I reinstalled Windows 7 and it had the same problem; I rebooted the machine and the computer repeatedly tried to reboot - it appeared to be stuck in the bios part of reboot.

Eventually I turned off the computer and left for an hour; rebooting it this time, had a very large number of full stops scrolling along and down the screen very rapidly(NOT like it was waiting for a CD/DVD boot option).

It came up with a 'Checksum Error'. It rebooted/reset the checksum and since then the computer boots fine, yet the internet connection rarely connects without me doing a Network Diagnostic.

I suspect there is an issue with the motherboard, but am looking for suggestions and the chance to actually speak to someone from Overclockers.

when installing the drivers, did you install them from the motherboard disk or let windows deal with it? reason i ask is that i had some issues with my brothers build as i was a fool and installed drivers from disk which seem to only work in vista and caused all sorts of problems. Since letting windows deal with it, it's been fine.
