Hi,
would appreciate help with the problem as per the title. How do I even troubleshoot that? :confused:Previously, everything was working fine. Turned off PC, replaced GPU, turned it back on again - no connection.

Tried plugging in the very same network cable to another PC and it works fine, I am connected so it's not the cable.

Was wondering if Windows did an update (this is a Windows 10 machine) that caused it so did system restore - did not help.

Installed LAN drivers for my mobo again - nothing.
 
Odd, to way the least. Can you check if the port wasn't damaged when disconnecting the cable? Unlikely, but may happen.
 
The led comes on when I plug in the cable. Otherwise, all components connected to the port from inside the case are under a heatsink and plastic cover so couldn't be damaged.
 
You’ve proved the cable is OK, router re-set and CMOS reset would be my next steps, but before you reset the CMOS is your board one of those with an inbuilt network diagnostic? If so have a look in that.

Thank you all for input. My next steps will be to reset CMOS. If that does not help, I will try Windows re-install as a last resort, can't really see what else I can do.

Is your network device disabled?

Settings/Network and internet/Change adapter settings/Click on your network device and select Enable.

It was listed initially as disabled and would not let me enable it, now it is not listed at all.
 
What happens if you remove the GFX card from the PC and turn on? Do you have onboard graphics? Does the network adapter come back?
