When I run the Nvidia drivers installer (all in one package) downloaded from the ASRock site or Nvidia site I got no errors. When I say 'no errors' I mean that installation (display driver, sata, ethernet...) completes successfully. When I check Device Manager it still displays the Network controller as not working.
I'm running 32 bit version of Windows.
Maybe the NIC is dead despite beeing detected by the OS.
If I may assist, a Dxdiag report can also provide useful information in this case. First, list any Problem devices
- Make sure devices are connected and powered on
- Click the Start Orb, type msinfo32 in the search box. Hit Enter
- Click the + sign next to Components to expand it
- Click Problem Devices. Anything appear?
- If yes, click on it, Ctrl-A to select all, Ctrl-C to copy it, Ctrl-V to paste into next post
- On the other hand, if no devices are listed, tell me so
Generate and attach a DirectX report
- Click Start, enter dxdiag in the search box
- When DxDiag opens, look along the buttons at the bottom of the DxDiag window
===> If you’re running 64 bit Windows, you’ll see a 64-bit DxDiag button. Click it to run the 64-bit version of dxdiag- Notice progress in lower left window corner
- When done, click Save Information button and save as a text file to your Desktop
- Upload the file to your next post
Sorry guys for late response I was busy. Unfortunately I dont't have the PC anymore. I've supposed to repair it and give it back to customer.
What I can tell you is that I tested it with KNOPPIX just to eliminate any Windows related issues and Network controller didn' work with Knoppix either. I decided to install new NIC and finish with it.
I've tried pretty much everything so I'm 99% sure that the NIC was dead. After replacing (installing new one) everything works as it should without problems.
Thanks for the help anyway :)
