New build isn't finding Ethernet

[Ilikemypc]

My new build is not recognizing my Ethernet. I've tried multiple cords and I cannot figure it out. Is it because I haven't activated windows? Also every time I boot is says "CPU OR MEMORY CHANGED!!! Press enter setup to configure your system
Press f1 to run setup
Press f2 to load default values and continue" it says this every single time I boot. Thanks for the help

Did you install the LAN driver for your motherboard?

 

[Paul NZ]

Is Ethernet enabled in the BIOS. Does Ethernet appear in device manager?

I would configure the BIOS properly

 

[Ilikemypc]

How would I do that? Keep in mind I have a nzxt s340 so no optical drive. I have a flash drive on hand

 

[Paul NZ]

Go into the BIOS reboot press del key

 

[Ilikemypc]

I'm in the bios. I don't see a reboot button?

 

[Paul NZ]

Reboot isnt there I thought you were in windows. Look for LAN

Go to the motherboard website, find and download the relevant driver. Save it to the USB stick.
Install in your PC.

OK...you're fighting 2 different issues at the same time.
Fix one, then the other.

The only way for me to get into Windows is to click F2. And I'm pretty sure that resets everything

 

[Ilikemypc]

I need to get into Windows normally. I need to get rid of this screen every time I reboot. I have no idea about how to go abou tit

Same prob here with that cpu or ram changed message. Could be incompatible ram

What ram did you install?

And whats the motherboard?

And whats the motherboard?

see above^

The mobo supports Crucial ram sticks, but this isnt one of them. All of them are 1.2v

Dont know if that makes a diff or not. But since that message appears it may

My DRAM voltage is 1.2

Is there a certain order you are supposed to put the ram sticks in? I put both right next to each other it that makes a difference

Read the manual it says

Always insert memory modules in the DIMM2 slot first.
●
Due to chipset resource usage, the available capacity of memory will be a little less than the amount of installed.
●
Based on Intel CPU specification, the Memory DIMM voltage below 1.35V is suggested to protect the CPU.
●
Please note that the maximum capacity of addressable memory is 4GB or less for 32-bit Windows OS due to the memory address limitation. Therefore, we recommended that you to install 64-bit Windows OS if you want to install more than 4GB memory on the motherboard.
●
Some memory may operate at a lower frequency than the marked value when overclocking due to the memory frequency operates dependent on its Serial Presence Detect (SPD).
●
It is recommended to use a more efficient memory cooling system for full DIMMs installation or overclocking.
●
The stability and compatibility of installed memory module depend on installed CPU and devices when overclocking.

So I should put it in 2 and 4?

 

[Ilikemypc]

Never mind I just checked the manual. Putting it in 2 and 4. Will get back to you

 

[Paul NZ]

Dont you have 4 sticks? You install them in 4 slots

Sweet So you posted a link to the wrong site. Sometimes it pays to read the manual
