Hey everyone. I’m hoping someone might be able to give me some suggestions on a LAN issue I’m having with my Asus Maximus III Formula. I’ve tried a new cable, different ports on the router, a second router, reinstalled LAN drivers and I’ve tried flashing the BIOS (started with 1706 and flashed to 1801, and then to 2001.).
If I shut the computer off, unplug it, clear the CMOS and restart, everything works fine. All the lights on the router are lit, activity lights on the port work, and I have internet. As soon as I restart, or shut the machine down is when I lose the LAN port. By lose I mean, the 100 mbps light on my router shuts off, the activity lights on the LAN port itself stop working and I have no internet. I've repeated the clearing the CMOS steps a handful of times, and it works everytime. However, the LAN port will die as soon as I shut the computer off or restart, every single time.
Also, I was running at 3.62. Just for the heck of it I went back to stock clocks. I get the same results no matter if I run the OC, or if I'm running at stock speed.
Any suggestions would be great! I have a feeling my only real option is an RMA. To be honest this board has to be one of the pickiest boards I’ve ever owned. I’m extremely disappointed overall with this thing. But I made the purchase, and don’t have money to switch boards at this point...so I’m kind of stuck....
Thanks in advance,
