I've been googling this for the past 2 hours, does anyone know why my wired connection constantly gives me the yellow exclamation? I've tried doing all the things suggested in all the post on various websites. However, I noticed that this only started after I moved to a new motherboard today. I don't see how that would affect networking but maybe it does. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Then I would contact the motherboard manufacturer and see about generating an RMA of the motherboard or working with their tech support to see if they have an idea why it isn't working.

DID you reinstall windows? because if you didn't that is more then likely the issue.. IF not make sure you have installed the drivers.. etc.. or send that motherboard back as its messed up. (if you plug that cable into a different PC (or you are sure it works)).. can always put a different cable / restart your stuff (router, computer etc) and see if that helps too.

Of course it affects networking. Unless you have a separate add in network card, the networking controller is a part of the motherboard, so changing motherboards is going to affect that. You need to do two things.

One, download and install the latest bios version for your motherboard if you don't already have the latest version installed, and you will need to check that as there have been many recent bios updates and releases this past two weeks.

Two, download all the relevant drivers for the chipset, audio, networking and storage controllers from your motherboard's product page, and install them. I'd bet that if you haven't downloaded the network adapter drivers from your motherboard's product page, that is probably all you need to do, plus of course installing them.

What is the model number AND revision number of your motherboard?

I've also reinstalled windows, restarted router and computer, and replaced cable. The motherboard is good, I used Ethernet on it a few days ago...

EDIT: Sorry just realized I posted this tin the completely wrong forum...

Loaded drivers onto USB and installed, still nothing.

I’d assume the RMA period is limited, and as this board was gotten out of a discarded computer, I’d also assume its long over. The odd thing is that this exact board was working with other Hard Drives and a different GPU.

I've clean installed Windows, and got it to work. The issue was my motherboard, so I used a USB to Ethernet Adapeter and it worked. Thanks everyone for your help and time!
