So I fixed one issue and now into another it seems my network adapter is corrupted , I tried to reinstall it using the supplied CD and even went to the site to download a new one still nothing I get this error (code 10) network adapter windows 10, now I don't like to fidle with the registry but I this case I may have to can some on post where windows keeps the reg file to the driver so. Can remove it and try freash.
Just an update widows went up in smoke and I had to do a reset after installing everything still no Ethernet connection if anyone has an idea what's up I can use some advice . thanks The lan port lights up but windows still has a conflict definitely some sort for registry issue. The problem is I dunno which reg is associated with the driver. Definitely need help tried looking it up but can't find anything remotely familiar.
Update bios? Bios includes firmware for NIC so if it's corrupted you could have issues. or if you don't see it in device manager you'll have to see if it's disabled in the bios. https://downloadcenter.intel.com/do...k-Adapter-Driver-for-Windows-10?product=82186 Run that installer, if it says no device found check bios. If no luck there, RMA board.
Windows sees it but it don't start its giving off an error this device can not start code 10. Now I can't update bios either via web , gonna try to down load from my phone. Updated bios to the latest they had on the site still no improvement can't figure this out other than a complete wipe.
What registry conflict? If you've already reinstalled windows, replace the motherboard. That's a hardware issue.
Yes I finally reinstalled windows and same issue , I think its some sort of hardware problem guess I'm dead in the water till store opens and hope I can make an exchange.
Yes gurus i'm back and yes it was the board had a BAD LAN PORT , not cool after some negotiations with the store management they were able to even swap the board. I'm back online and things are running nicely thanks to those that responded
