I built my PC a few weeks ago, but a couple days ago I noticed in the event viewer this error , rt640x64 Realtek Gaming 2.5GbE Family Controller has a Hardware IO error, repeating infinitely. Even though the error is being reported nothing is actually messing up. If I reset the PC or disable the device it stops until I turn the PC off and on again. Sometimes the error doesn't even happen at all. Is this something I can just ignore or do I need to do something about it?
 
Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

Take a screenshot of the Event Viewer entry including the details.

The objective is to find a specific error code or description beyond just the apparently offending Controller.

Immediate suggestions:

Power down, unplug open the case.

Verify that all connectors, cards, RAM, jumpers, and case connections are fully and firmly in place.

Could be heat related - the controller heats up to some point and fails. Once cooled down - works fine until the next time things heat up.

More information needed.
