Tech Clinic / Computer won't connect via ethernet
« on: July 17, 2016, 06:00:25 PM »Since you\'ve tried most troubleshooting steps, it\'s either bad or faulty drivers, some nasty spyware/adware or it could just be a defective onboard network, or network card
You could try booting up with a linux distro such as ubuntu as see if you can connect

One update I believe addresses
Fixed onboard & add-on VGA card compatibility issue
I can\'t find your exact model motherboard, what bios version you have installed?
Are you planning to update bios?

You should have your manual for tweaking memory, etc....
