This has been a pain in the ass for very long. I am constantly trying to fix this, every time I get annoyed at the fact that I just can't use wired internet for no good reason. Trying to keep this short-ish.
1. Ethernet doesn't work, using wifi with a tp-link modem as of now (been using it for years tbf).
2. Drivers are not working properly, despite reinstalling several times. In device manager it shows "Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller" and a yellow triangle along with it. Uninstalling/reinstalling, disabling and re-enabling, removing it etc. does not work.
3. Network adapter settings are completely empty, it doesn't detect it there at all.
4. The problem is NOT in the cable nor ports on the router. I have tried 3-4 different cables and different ports on the router. Also it works great on a laptop. The problem could be in my physical computer but all the lights are on, so it's not like it's broken.
5. I have tried just about everything I have read about. I also *I think* updated my bios today, no luck. Tried also a method that told me to shut my computer down, switch off the PSU and hold down the power button for 15 seconds. Anyway it didn't work.
6. I think it means nothing but on my windows taskbar where it shows the internet, it shows the icon for unconnected lan. I'm using wifi though, so it should show the wifi/signal bar. As I said, I don't it's more than just a random "glitch" but I'm trying to give every piece of information that might be helpful.
My motherboard is MSI MS-7846
Anyway, this is my last attempt, I'm really getting tired of trying to fix this, I'm lost lol.
Feel free to ask any questions, of course.
