Gigabyte z270 HD3 ethernet coneection

Hey I just bought this motherboard and a i5 7600K and a new SSD. When I finished building the PC I installed windows at this point everything was OK. The problem began when I finished installing the drivers and I noticed that the ethernet LAN driver of Intel doesn't work for me. The installation process say "tall drivers. no intel(r) adapters are present in this computer"

I already tried installing windows again but nothing seems to solve this problem

You could have a bad ethernet port. Check to see if the device shows up in device manager. Then try updating the driver from there and select "search automatically" to see if it finds anything

It can't be that, when I plug the cable the lights turn on. I tried what you say but nothing happens

EDIT: Already tried to disable Ethernet connection from BIOS and enable it again but still not work

try uninstalling the device within device manager or the driver and try installing the one from the website in the downloads. You also need to make sure it is enabled in the bios. Check your network settings to see if the OS sees it in there.

Okay I just fixed this, but it was a bit weird.

If anyone have this problem follow this steps:
1) Clean Windows Install
2) Install all the drivers except the Network LAN driver
3)Reboot your PC
4) Open the driver installation, try to install it, it will fail and the same error will show up "Cannot install drivers. no intel(r) adapters are present in this computer"
5) Reboot PC
6) Open again the driver exec, and before installing close it.
7) Reboot with your cable plug in
8) Enjoy!
