Intel dual gigabit 1000/pro PT PCIE network adapter not working!
Ok so I just got a used Intel Dual Gigabit 1000/PRO PT PCIE network adapter.
My Hardware is as follows:
Intel i7 3770k
ASUS Z77V-PRO mobo
8GB Ram
AMD Radeon HD 7850 video card
Audigy2 ZS PCI sound card
I have the most up to date BIOS on the motherboard
So I installed the network adapter into 1 of my 2 free pcie slots.
In BIOS I disable the onboard LAN adapter.
Load into windows and I get a new hardware installation message saying that the drivers for my "Xeon processor E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor PCI Express Root Port - 0155" has been installed and ready. That is my first WTF.
I try to install the newest Intel drivers provided by the Intel website, I get an error saying "There is no Intel Network Adapter installed on your computer" error. 2nd WTF
I have no tried numerous combinations of using my 2nd free pcie slot in the mobo, no change in situation.
THe odd thing is, is that on the network card when its plugged in and computer turned on the green lights on the ports are on solid (not flashing) as I have no cable in them yet. So I dont think the card is dead. The card was used but looked to be in perfect condition.
What is the problem, can anyone help? I cant find any other people having many issues with these cards online.
