No ethernet on crosshair 6 after new build

[MeanMachine]

It went from copying drivers to cannot install drivers. No intel adapters are present in this computer.

Are there any drivers listed at all in device manager under Network Adapters. If so delete them or try to update the driver and use the one you downloaded.
Run the .exe as administrator if it refuses.

Im screaming here. Everyone on the street must think ive gone mad. But its the frustration. Without the internet i cant update anything . Im really annoyed that asus has dropped the ball. If their quality control is this bad. I.ll be going elsewhere in future. Im absolutely guttered. Ita gonna damage my other parts uninstalling them over and over. Wtf do asus think people are going to do when this happens. Rma. Ive been waoting 60days for my stuff to all arrive. And some of it including thos broke ass motherboard i cant return. So ive no choice but to rma. Mfrs.

lol I'm leaving this as evidence that we can all be c@nt sometimes.... lol

I understand your frustration purecain however this is a Windows issue and ASUS did not drop the ball as you say. Unless you have a Bad MB then the fix is there.
The ethernet drivers are not automatically installed. Calm down its not going to help.

Sorry m8 but the boards broken. The adapter is there but it wont allow any kind of installation. In other words its faulty. They sent me a faulty board. Im starting to lose my ability to focus. Im not sure how much longer i can put into this. I might smash it to pieces yet. Lol

Dude im a master builder. 8 hours sinse the error first showed. Unless asus can e plain why ive never even heard of a problem like this in 20yrs of building bespoke pcs.

Eyes have gone unknown device gives code 28 on pcibus 28. there are no compatible drivers. Installed the network adapter. Windows stops the driver from working. Code 31 the requesy is not supported. I also noticed i got a shock from the pc case. That only wver happened a handful of time. Checked all the usuals. Found nothing. Psu is fine and gpu is fine. No cables seem to be tpuching the case.

this is probably what killed the Ethernet device. to people building new pc's, be careful with the cases. if you reuse an old psu make sure to give it a clean inside. get rid of any dust. I'm thinking I may put power to the board outside of the case and check to see if the case still gives me a shock. I'm using the same psu back in my old case and everything is fine...

Now it says intel 82552 10/100 network connection adapter is experiancing driver or hardware related problems. Its a faulty board. I cant believe it.

I reinstalled windows after removing everythong from the case. Same result. This board is faulty ffs. I started with the problem at 2pm yesturday and ive tried everything to get it to work. Ive ruined my psu cables installing them on this badly manufactured board. Asus have lost my trust. Last asus board i will ever own edit ' ha ha lol theres nothing like making an ass of yourself, funny to read through
'
Now after 12hours of trouble shooting no dinner no tea no sleep. I can llook forward to starting all over again as i try to cpnfigure my old pc. Really annoyed i should recieve a board with a broken componant. I mean wtf. Other people having aound issus i never even mentioned the mess some of the chips on the board were. When it arrived. The sound module had bubbles in its coating ffs.and it atill passed quality control. Fine ypu thouraly check boards and now we know your worth. No intel adapters are present in this computer. Up works down does not. Whats that all about. Ive ised asus all my buisness life. But not any more. If i wanted to recoeve an unknown quality i would of bought a cheap board. End of.

I also noticed i got a shock from the pc case.

Did U check the standoffs ??? If U have 1 in a bad location U can short the mainboard .

[purecain]

I have an x71 from tt. yep I thought the same about it. its most likely connected to the psu... I'm going to check it before I install it next time.
