I built a new pc in April 2020. After about 3 months my ethernet connection stopped working. I tried endless versions of drivers and swapping cables and modems, without solving the issue. Restarting my PC does nothing. The error I get when running the troubleshooting is telling me that there is no cable plugged in. It refuses to detect the cable for some reason. I also tested the connection using my laptop and it worked perfectly, so the issue lies within my pc somewhere. I should also mention that all other devices such as laptops and phones have not had any issues while on wifi, so the internet itself appears to be working normally. I found a workaround by using an ethernet to usb adapter for my PC, but again after about 3 months that adapter died. I bought a new adapter and that one worked for only 2 days. I then bought a PCI network card and once again it worked great, for one month... I repurchased the same NIC and the second one died after less than 24 hours. I'm guessing I need a new motherboard, but was waiting until it was a last resort. I know basically nothing about networking, so if anyone has any other solutions or information about what is causing this and how to fix it I would greatly appreciate it.
