On board Ethernet adapter dead?

[ThePaleLion]

Hey there guys I made a post a few days ago stating I was having driver issues with my new 990FXa board. Now to start all the way back to when I installed the board last week. It worked fine I installed the new board drivers through USB. Later on that night in the middle of a raid. My Internet dropped. I got a "limited connection" but everything on the network was running fine. A few moments later it said no connection. Then it BSOD'ed on me.This happens everytime i reinstall the killer ethernet driver. I have tried reinstalling drivers. Rolling back drivers. Everything. I resorted to just wiping the PC completely (it's just a gaming rig) and then reinstalling everything and I am still having the same problems. Now I can't get the ethernet driver to work at all. Getting Code 21 and Code 10. Do I need to FRESHLY install windows? Is that any different from the reset feature in Windows? Is this the boards fault, do I need to RMA it?

Any help is appreciated, thank you.

It's a MSI board right?.. this issue is common. Remove the Killer Connection Manager Utility, restart the computer and watch the connection recover.

I'll look for related information and post it here.

EDIT: Disable the Killer connection manager "Service" first and see if that's enough. Start > Search or Run, and type Services.msc and press Enter > scroll down to the service and double click it, Statup type: Disabled, Sevice Status: Stopped... Apply > OK and Exit. Restart if necessary.

The suite that comes with Killer NICs is known to be extremely problematic. Disable the service as shown above, or uninstall the suite though control panel, and install the bare drivers through Device Manager.

I don't have the suite installed. I manually installed JUST the driver and it's persisted through a complete reset.

If you can't solve your problem, then just temporarily use a USB Ethernet adapter.
