My brand new mainboard with the latest BIOS (060) and Win7 x64 OS, fresh install and latest drivers, the ethernet controller on this board fails randomly (~ 1/day). When this happens the network connector appears as disconnected, and nothing will help to restore the connection, you have to either:
- restart your computer, but sometimes it hangs during shutdown, and you have to reset,
- reset your mainboard.
Disabling and re-enabling the connection will not working either, the disable command will hang indefinitely.
