Ethernet and Drivers decided to take a day off...

[christianoverton]

Turned on my pc, the internet wasn't connected, messed with the Ethernet cable, tested with other devices, found out that the issue is with the Ethernet on my computer.

What I've done:
- Tried "Network reset" from settings
- Tried updating drivers (all drivers up to date)
- Noticed Killer E2200 driver in device manager was hidden, when I clicked on it it said "(Code 45) Device not connected"
- Tried installing Killer Ethernet Network manager and Killer Suite, neither would install as they could not "detect Killer hardware"
- Tried uninstalling the Killer driver all together...

Still no luck... I don't know how to manually install the drivers, I looked into it and there is something that shows you can in the device manager right click on "Ethernet Controller" under "Other Devices" and manually install the drivers that way. However I do not even have "Other devices" listed. And again, I was able to see the drivers at one point and they said the killer device was not connected.

Not sure where to go from here hopefully someone can help.

System:
Windows 10 64
Motherboard: MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming

Sounds to me like your Ethernet controller has said bye-bye. (It has died)
Does the software installation produce the same "could not detect Killer Hardware" error after a system restart?

Yeah, I'm going to try updating / reinstalling(flashing) the bios and see if that will help. Otherwise I'll just get a 10$ gigabit Ethernet card :/

Getting a new card would be the next best thing, yes.
