Hi guys,
I recently built my PC with the following spec.
i5 2500k CPU, Z68AP-D3 Mobo, Radeon 6870 GPU, 550 OCZ PSU.
Everything went to plan, no problems. Installed window 7 64bit, again no problems.
Went to plug in the ethernet and it wasn't finding anything, been on manage devices etc and still no network options.
After trying to install the LAN drive required, which I thought would be my solution towards the end of installing it, it pops up this error.
"The RealTek Network Adapter/Controller was not found.If Deep Sleep Mode enabled Please Plug the Cable"
After a lot of researching into this, it seems quite common however i've done the things that are recommended such as reset mobo by removing RAM and PSU for a while, but still no network adapter or the same error message.
Things i've done to try and fix this:
Reset CMOS by button and battery.
Removed RAM and PSU for an hour.
Made sure LAN is enabled in BIOS.
None of these solutions have worked
Any help or advice is much appreciated.
Thanks
