Hey guys bought a NEW PCIe Network card everything seems to work i'm able to play games download and so on but one issue now is Cant use my Expensive sound card.
Mother board is EVGA X58 e760 Classified edition
take a look at the picture shows you the slots on my board.
Network card takes PCIe Due to me not having PCI Zzz
Sound card Takes PCIe
Sound card - Creative X-FI Titanium Fatality champion series
Network card - intel(R) Gigabit CT desktop adapter
Just read this whole thread...
From you you have gone thru, you definately have some hardware conflicts.
Checkout what resources its using (mem range/IRQ)
Have you (as previously suggested) cleared your CMOS? Load DEFAULTS or 'OPTIMIZED'? (Sorry..I'm unfamiliar with your mobo) This may sort out any IRQ/resource conflicts.
Also review the windows settings.
Go to device manager and check out your IRQ settings. and look for conflicts.
(Yes..two devices CAN use the same IRQ, but depending on the devices can cause problems)
right click device manger..choose VIEW--> RESOURCES BY TYPE
Open INTERUPT REQUEST(IRQ)
Then REVIEW The nic may be sharing an IRQ with another device.
Move it. Either in the bios or move it to a different slot.
Good luck!
Hey guys i'm back Bought a PCIE Network Card internet been smooth for 2 weeks 2 Slight problems though
My mother Board is a EVGA X58 e760 2nd classified Version Have a look at picture Thats my motherboard

Another problem. I tested out my motherboards network card again hope it works so i can use my sound card but it seems to be giving me all kinds of problems. when its enabled and the coord is plugged in i randomly get BSOD's Constant Network disconnects AND "Ethernet Cable is not plugged in: i dont no what i did to cause this issue cause well its a brand new system.
OH one more thing i seem to be getting alot of these scattered with in my Event viewer
Performance power management features on processor 5 in group 0 are disabled due to a firmware problem. Check with the computer manufacturer for updated firmware.
It rangers from Processor 0 to 7
Thanks
i have updated the BIOS thats the thing..
i was reading up on the Processor problem and some guy called the issue "artifacts" saying something related to Graphics driver

This is defiantly a Realtek NIC Win 7 bug too many people are having this problem to ignore it (drivers maybe?) this is how I "fixed" the problems I had. Go to the advanced tab in the Realtek controller properties in network adaptors in device manager & adjust the "Speed & Duplex" from Auto Negotiation to 10 mbps full duplex. I know it's not a true fix & my router shows amber lights but at least I'm not getting the dreaded "cable not connected" issue & yes I've tried new cat 6 cables & a different router. Oh & if your've got duel NIC's dont forget to change both. I should be running 100 mbps full duplex & green liights but I'll just wait for a driver or Win 7 fix.
