Can't see onboard ethernet adapter despite attempts to wake up!

[Saucome Awece]

I've been working on this for like 6 hours now and I can't get anywhere, so it was time to ask fo mah self. I'm getting the error "realtek network controller was not found if deep sleep mode is enabled please plug the cable". I can't see my motherboard's ethernet adapter, like no matter what. I've stripped it down, taken out the ram, basically used every combination of hardware in my computer, checked the bios, and even tried to hard reset the board to try and get my board to wake up or whatever. I'm basically 99.999999% sure I have the correct driver and everything, it just wont do!

The board: Ecs A785GM-AD3 (Black Series)
Here's a link: http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Product/Product_Detail.aspx?DetailID=1084&MenuID=19&LanID=0

OS: Windows 10

Cpu: AMD Phenom II x4 955

wireless adapter: Qualcomm Atheros AR938x

EDIT: Oh yeah I also flashed the BIOS

I actually haven't even tried to use my ethernet adapter on this board since I got it new... heh.

If you need more specs I've got 'em.
PLZ MAI BRAYN MEGAHERTZ RIGHT NOW

I am aware that the drivers they give you on the ECS website are out-dated.

Driver I have: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=5&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false

UPDATE:I have found an unknown device when I enabled hidden devices in device manager. It says that its parent device is "USB\ROOT_HUB"
Could this be it? Or is this just a usb device that I plugged in at some point, but just didn't have the drivers for?

Did you install the chipset drivers that came with the motherboard? Sometimes this is required after installing the operating system.

Installing new chipset drivers, while it seemed to do something, did not resolve the issue. Could it be that it needs to be getting a signal to wake out of deep sleep?

My computer seems to be recognizing an unknown device when I display hidden devices. I've tried going into the list of recommended drivers to find it's driver, found it but when I installed it it did nothing. Any thoughts?

It's non of my other peripherals for sure. My ethernet adapter is the only one that I can't seem to make work. This is leading me to believe that this device is my ethernet adapter.

EDIT: It's gone and I don't think it was it anyway...
