Bad Board?

OK as of yesterday my cpu just shuts off. There is no specific length of time it will stay up but roughly about 30 minutes.
I tested a brand new PSU same result 850w, previous PSU was 650w
I had 4x1gb sticks of memory. I took 3 out and tested using 1. Same result.
Now it could be luck and that stick is bad so I am testing the other 3.
All sticks passed mem test though.
KN9SLI Plat
AMD 6000+ processor
PNY Geforce 8800GTS (SLI)
Boot drives (raid 1) seagate 160GB drives
Clean install of Vista
No overclocking of mem or cpu
It seems the only thing left is the MOBO that I havent tested or replaced. Any ideas?
I did notice this in event viewer - Its for the CDrom I believe but thats all plugged in and seems to be working fine.
IRQARB: ACPI BIOS does not contain an IRQ for the device in PCI slot 14, function 0. Please contact
system vendor for technical assistance

do you hear any beeps?
what D-Bracket shows?
check all power cables.
remove power cord from the PSU and Clear CMOS Guide, leave only one memory stick in DIMM slot near to CPU socket, then retry to boot.
if no change take board out of case, re seat the CPU apply new thermal paste. use barabone setup and try to boot.
test CPU somewhere else.

Ms-6215 system bad board (MS-6315)

I have a 1.5 year old MS-6215/Intel Celeron 1.1ghz small format system that seems to have a bad motherboard. System will not post (or even give more than a brief flash of lights on the front for that matter). Have replaced the powersupply, CPU and Memory. Can I purchase a replacement motherboard (MS-6315)? And if yes, from whom? My original retailer is no longer available. This is a somewhat urgent situation, so ASAP purchase required.

6351 is board in it according to this

you dont say were you live ,as with that some one might help

The diagnosis bad board!!

Yeah I posted something on here a few weeks ago thinking that I had recieved a bad processor but the my surprise the board was shot. Over the course of about 3-4 weeks I tested all my components in other systems which suprisingly proved me wrong. This was after I had already sent my processor back to amd. And had to wait another 3 weeks for that to go through. All seems fine until I have conflicts with my bios. I have the ilsr has anyone had any trouble with this and the ati 9700 pro?? I flashed my bios and it just started going nuts on me. Last night I stayed up late and re-formatted the the disk drive and re-installed xp. So far so good. I also had alot of trouble with that damn on board raid. When I tried to integrate it somehow I recieved 3 critical windows faults. But cured that quickly through safe-mode. But things were so boggled there at the end I had no choice but to format. Has anyone else had problems like this???? If so I would love to hear about it.
k7-ilsr amd 2500+
corsair 512mbX1 xms
ati 9700 pro
2x40 gig maxtor ata 133 2mb cache
P.S. If anyone has any good ideas on how to tweak this card a bit even through bios give me the how to`s and Ill go for it...
Later......

Alright if I did want to use this raid do you have to have the fiberoptic connectors or can you just use a regular ide channel. And Ive tried flashing it back to the original bios but I can not figure it out. The program says that it does not support ntfs. Any hints on this would be highly appreciated. Oh yeah the format worked perfectly and even with the drivers from the cd installed it runs fine except for the start where it sometimes just shows a blank screen on boot up. Ive tried different monitors but they all do the same thing. Is there a setting in the bios that would counteract this???? IM in dire need of some help on this. Well talk to you all soon.

Z68A-GD80 (GEN 3) possible bad board?

I just purchased some parts for a new build.
The new parts are:
2500k
Msi z68a-gd80 gen 3
sapphire 7970
Samsung 830 (256gig.)
g.skill ripjaws (2 x 8 gig.)
win7 pro
The power supply is working ok.( pc power 750 silencer.)
The problem is the 7970 isn't detected in the first two pcie gen 2/3 slots, none of my graphics cards are.
I've tried a known working 8800gt as well as a 7200 gs.
There's no video output from any of the cards either, monitor remains off.
I've tried every bios option I could think of for the integrated graphics, cleared the bios multiple times, but no card is recognized.
when I try to install the amd drivers the wizard reports warnings, but state a successful installation.
Upon reboot, win7 tries to repair "problems" unsuccessfully.
I have gotten video output from the 8800gt in the bottom pcie slot, but upon reboot I receive the same error as above and a failed repair.
Maybe I've been luck, very lucky. I've never receive a nonworking computer part before.
Is this a problem with the MB or something else?
I can't test the 7970 in another system as I've had two working systems fail on me this past weekend after moving them from one case to another.
I'm new to win7 as well as these parts, am I missing something obvious?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You have no idea what is going on and already talk about bad first impressions.
Even you have a damaged mainboard (which you do not even know at this point), the simple solution would be: RMA. You'll get a replacement board and get it over with. It happens that boards are defective (who know what parcel delivery guy dropped the package or threw in some wagon).
Your statement does not make any rational sense. That must be your frustration talking. Get that out of your system, it won't help you one bit with your problem.
>>This is exactly why I came to this forum, I didn't know if I'm overlooking something simple as win7 is also new to me.
I didn't want to jump on the rma bandwagon without getting some help first.
You're also correct that, if the mb is bad it doesn't could have been damaged it shipping.
Unless you have a way to test the CPU in another board, or another CPU on your's, I would either recommend to ask in a computer shop for help with troubleshooting or RMA both CPU and mainboard and see which one comes back as "okay".
>>I'll call some local places to see if they can test the mb and cpu tomorrow. Iam working nights a the moment.
Another thought, though:
Underlying memory problems can actually cause the system to think the BIOS/UEFI is corrupted.
Do you have other memory modules for testing (some standard 1 or 2 GB stick perhaps)?
>>I only have the installed kit.
If there's anymore info I can provide for you it'll be in the morning.
Thanks.

P4N Diamond Bad Board

Despite getting a beta bios 1.5 from MSI UK and installing that I am still getting freezes sometimes when I am doing something intensive like video editing and other time not. This morning it froze the first time I switched on just as Windows had loaded up so its not a heat problem.
If anything bios 1.5 is worse because now I cannot get access to my IEEE1394 interface, if I switch it on in the bios it does not appear at all in Windows Device Manager, if I disable it in the bios it appears in Windows Device Manager but will not detect any IEEE1394 devices plugged in.
I dont think MSI and nVidia know what they are doing, this board sucks!!

rprough,
Once again you dont have a problem beacuse you have the Extream Edition. Its just the reg. Pentium D's that have the problem.
mball,
I wish i had the awnser for you but i dont...ive been searching for months now to no avail. The last i heard was that the new beta bios might fix the issue. But you say that you tried that so its not a fix for the problem. What i can tell is that you might have better luck at the Dianmond Forum at http://diamondclub.msi.com.tw/eng/forum/ register with your diamond card number and you can read about the p4n and everyone elses problems with the board. There is an admin on there that works for MSI, i have talked to him about the problem and he says that he is running fine on your exact chip. But at leaset you can get some corispondince going. Good LuCK and ill let you know if i find something.
Edit: Saw that you already posted there...sorry.

MSI Z87 MPower Max - Bad board? Failed SATA and B2 problems????

So here's the thing, been having problems with my system, I have a SSD as the boot drive and a RAID 5 array using the intel controller as a Data drive. It started infrequently that occassionally the system would lock up with the HDD LED on solid, Then it became progressively more and more frequently while troubleshooting.
I started out thinking it was the RAID array since after it freezes it would reboot do a verification and find some errors, so I disabled the array and tried running the WD lifeguard on each drive, each one passed a full disk scan. I tried booting the system with 1 or the 3 drives unplugged, still froze so cycled through each drive, froze each time.
Started suspecting the SSD so I cloned the drive onto a mechanical hard drive, still froze.
Unplugged the entire array and just ran the HDD alone..... didn't freeze as frequently but would still freeze.
Swapped out the RAM with good ram... Still froze.
Swapped power supplies with a good supply... Still froze.
Removed all the components except the boot drive, the RAM and the CPU..... stopped freeze up completely, instead I would get microstutters where the system would freeze for .25 to .5 seconds then continue, could tell if you played a audio stream it would keep repeating (Even a buffered stream) did a latency test and interupts were flying like mad and taking a long time to process, with no specific driver or process assigned.
Plugged the RAID array back in and it was working with the microstuttering, while trying to backup data off the array it froze again.
Rebooted the system, bios would die at B2
unplugged the RAID drives, cleared the cmos the system would boot.
Plug back in the raid drives , clear the cmos and it dies at B2.
Took out a hardware RAID controller (LSI 9260) and connected the drives up to that, dies at B2
unplug the controller... Bios boots
Plug in the controller with no drives attached, dies at B2.
Take the controller out, bios boots.
Sometimes the system gets to A2 and the screen shows snowy static
What is also strange is this occurs on both bios's.... the primary bios which I have flashed to 1.5 and the backup bios which I had left at 1.1 as a fail safe and never flashed.
Thoughts?

Hi
Almost same story happened to me.
I have now 2 pieces of Z87 MPOWER boards and both have the same issues.
1. Board came with BIOS 1.5. I left BIOS B to 1.5 and flashed BIOS A to 1.7 with MFLASH method. I installed W8.1 on my onto my SAMSUNG SSD and the PC was working for 2 or 3 days.
Then I noticed strange behavior while booting. The SSD was not found sometimes. I hit F11 and the list was full of USB pen drive entries. Then I entered the BIOS and I have seen only two menu entries: Security and one more I don't remember. Inside of the menu items it was empty or some chinese letters. So I thought the Bios was currupted. Due to missing MFLASH menu I couldn't flash the bios via MFLASH, so I had to study the German MSI Forum. Then I prepared the USB pendrive with ABUDE method and I brought back BIOS A alive. Fine, I thought: It can happen but it shouldn't. But the boot problems came back....
2. The second board came and had BIOS 1.4 installed and I didn't touch board #1 anymore . So I flashed BIOS A again to 1.7 and you know already what's coming up. Totally the same story which I had with board #1.
I switched back to BIOS B and no problems at all with booting.
After a while I noticed some BSODs because of Killer EThernet driver (bwcW8x64.sys). I had so serious problems with that driver. The problem is: If the driver fails, you are even unable to go to the internet and look for a new driver, because your ethernet is dead. Very funny, but not for me. I got the drivers from antother PC and I tried to install them. During installation it was fine. The card was working, but I was forced to do a reboot. After the reboot, the ethernet card was disabled because windows coudn't load the driver. OK, that's a windows issue or a poor driver. I tried several times. No chance to get ethernet back alive. Finally I disabled the Killer Ethernetboad and plugged my former Intel Gigabit ET Dual Port Sever Adapter in. I thought, now I get rid of all the problems. Ha ha...
First was everything fine. Then the PC didn't want to boot anymore: BIOS message --> B2.
I hit del key: "Entering setup" message came up. Nothing more. Several times. Dead.
I plugged out the Intel ethernetboard. Bios came up. I put the ethernet board to another PCI slot. 2 days of working. later on, same story.
Then I switched back to BIOS B and no problems at all.
So what's up here with my 2 MPOWER boards, showing the same issues with BIOS 1.7? What I did wrong?
- MFLASH? May be. But I don't use it anymore. I use the MSIHQ USB Flashing Tool from this forum now which was also spread in the German forum.
- I never flashed BIOS beta versions, I always red articals how to flash and I think I did nothing wrong here.
- Overclocking? No. Unfortunatelly I bought an Intel i4770 CPU without K. Funny. So no overclock issues at all.
- Memory? I have fully equipped 32GB (G.Skill F3-2400C10Q-32GTX) and did the MEM86+ test successfully.
Day before yesterday I flashed BIOS 1.6 to BIOS A. All looks good until now. The intel ethernet board behaves well. No B2 messages.
I will further comment as soon there is anything new.
Do we have some issues with BIOS 1.7? I strongly belief....
I have seen BIOS V1.81 beta is out. But where is V1.8 official release? Anyway, I am tired of testing. If I do not have issues with 1.6 then I will use it.
Unfortunately the MSI Z87 MPOWER board is not yet widely spread. Otherwise we would have more user experiences.
Ok, any comments are highly appreciate it.
@ Corellon: Sometime I got A2 messages with black screen with BIOS V1.7
Which bios version had you installed when you experienced severe problems?
I guess V1.5 & V1.6 are save. 1.7 has got problems.

I had just built myself a new system and at first I had a unidentified problem that was not allowing me to even post.
I managed to acquire a motherboard speaker and found the problem to be a faulty memory stick. However, that has not been the end of it.
Once everything was up and running and all drivers up to date I was experiencing problems in games (WOT & Warthunder) where my FPS would drop suddenly from around 70-80 to 3-10. Sometimes this would last until I rebooted the PC, but sometimes it would last only for 10-20 seconds and continue to go up and down. I would also get the occasional random crash. When I monitored the GPU, using Catalyst, I could see the GPU activity would be 97-99% when the FPS dropped. Temps were fine. At first I thought it may be not getting enough power. Originally I had my PSU supplying the XFX HD 7850 DD card from the non modular cable (it is split to have two PCIE connectors). So, I tried different combinations of powering the GPU (both 6 pin from modular cable & 1 from modular & 1 from wired), but I was still getting problems. I had this card in my old pc, though it was in a PCIE 2.0 slot, and it worked ok, but if I put the card in the PCIE 2.0 slot on my new board it sends the Realtek HD sound manager crazy with it constantly saying plugs are being taken in and out of the jacks! After some searching I have recently thought that it may be switching to 2D mode, but I am not sure how to force it to 3D settings to check this. Just remembered I did have some video flicker on YouTube......
So, I tried one of my old cards (MSI GTX 460SE) in the PCIE 2.0 slot and this works absolutely great, stable in games and no crashes.. However, I have no sound with this card! Thinking I do have driver issue here as I can see the green sound bar move in playback devices, but I get nothing coming through either speakers or headphones (oh and yes I have RealTek enabled in BIOS and set as default device).
My biggest worry is that I have a problem with my MB and I need to establish whether this is the problem. I don’t really want to send it back to Novatech if it turns out there is no problem and I get charged. I would be getting a new board from the same place so they may well be a bit friendlier to an exchange rather than a refund.
Equally I now don’t know what to do about my graphics card situation……
As you can see I about at the end of tether it is driving me (and to be fair the wife) crazy.
I would really appreciate your advice on the logical steps I need to perform.

ok some steps you could try!
1: make sure you have all the Motherboard and Graphics drivers Installed (Make sure you have the HDMI Audio Driver installed too from AMD for your card)
2: check to make sure it hasn't set the default Audio to HDMI in your OS in the Audio Device Manager and also in the Realtek HD Audio Manager as you may have a conflict as usually the OS will try and set the HDMI as default audio as its on a PCI-E slot and can think its audio chip is a dedicated sound card not an Auxiliary chip....
3: test it outside the case on a non conductive surface (Untreated wood or plain Cardboard would do) to rule out if you have left a Standoff under the board and its fouling up the circuits there!
4: check the CPU socket for any bent pins as you may have something amiss there as a bent pin is a common problem on LGA sockets!

Z77A-GD65 power issue/bad system board?

Looking for advice. I am afraid its a bad board, but some symptoms point at power which also makes no sense.
This is what the WHOLE system should look like.
MSI Z77A-GD65 system board
Intel 3770K 3.5Ghz
Anted Kuhler H20 620
G.Skills RipJaws 16GB 1600Mhz DDR3 F3-14900CL9Q-16GBXL (on the test list)
Asus nVidia GTX 680 video card
OCX Vertex 3 256MB SSD
Seagate 500GB data drive
Razer Lycosa Keyboard
Razer DeathAdder Mouse
Antec Sonata IV case with Neo ECO 620W power supply
It seems to me that 620W should be more than enough. According to my calculations thats roughly 330W of power draw against a 620W powersupply.
I am not currently over clocking.
So what the system does look like is:
If I connect the 500GB drive then windows starts rebooting as soon as the Windows logo comes up.
If I place all four sticks of RAM in the system windows starts rebooting as soon as the Windows logo comes up.
If I leave the 500GB standard sata drive off and only use 3 sticks of RAM... well we get a solid system and I am writing this message on it.
3 sticks of ram appear to work in any 3 slots and allow the system to boot, except 1,3,4. That combo also resulted in the reboots at the windows logo.
I first thought it was RAM, originally I was using Corsair Vengeance. I saw some posts here about people having the same problem, and noted that the Corsiar RAM was not tested and switch to a the tested G.Skill instead.
Any ideas? It does not completely seem like a System board issue, but it certainly should not be power. All heat levels are well within normal and as I said the system works great if I leave off the drive and one stick of RAM.
Thanks guys....

System torn down, and put back together. (Found out I was out of Thrermal Compound, so I had to run to the store to get some.)
No long leads, only 9 stand offs matching each mount point on the systemboard.
Back together... problem is the exact same.
However, back to the hard drive issue. I decided to play with that since I was getting no where with 4 sticks of RAM.
What I have discovered is that with NO sata cable connecting the drive to the system board, if I try to power the two 250GB standard sata drives the system reboots just as the Windows logo should come up.
The fact that this behavior is so close to the RAM behavior... I am back to thinking its a power issue, though system board is still a chance... its just easier to buy a new better power supply than the Antec Neo Power 620 that came with the case. (I have not ever had a problem with Antec before, and will likely just buy one of their higher end power supplies to replace it, but I think I will try it next, just in case.)
I am not seeing any strange behavior power wise as far as any monitor shows... but connecting power to a sata drive that is NOT connected with a sata cable and causing a reboot just screams power at me.
Anymore thoughts today. In the mean time off to play Secret World with just the SSD and two sticks of RAM, which still runs rock solid.

Bad Logic Board. Can I use a MDD?

I have a Powermac G4 Quicksilver 800mhz x 2. I can I use a MDD Logic Board with the Quicksilver processors?

I would not do it. The processor modules for both machines are different designs not to mention the heatsink.
My answer is no.
Are you positive the Logic board is bad? did you run the apple hardware test CD that came with the Quicksilver to confirm it is indeed a bad board?
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

KM4M board will not display graphics

...except in safe mode..
This is on a brand new build with Win98SE on the HDD
Upon installation I loaded all drivers from the MSI disc.
This is what happened after the drivers were loaded-
The system posts,runs through the splash screen and the screen goes black.
If I go into the device manager,remove the VIA/S3G Unichrome graphics display adapter,reboot the PC will boot up, discover the PCI-compatiblr graphics display, etc and proceeds to the message directing me to restart to finish setting up my hardware.
Upon reboot the screen, ends up black again.
My best two guesses are something wrong in the BIOS or bad board, and I have checked the BIOS over as best I can.
Help???

In addition to the video problem I also have a internet connection problem.
The entire system now freezes upon dial up connection. Feel free to split this thread if you do not want to try and deal with both problems in one.
I have put a Cirrus Logic video card in PCI slot 2 and now I do have video, but I need the onboard to be workin instead
In the device manager there is a question mark beside
Complete specs to the best of my ability; keep in mind I did not choose the HDD or periperals, they are what I have to use.
AMD Athlon CP 2000+ with stock heatsink and fan- not OC
Kingston 256mg DDR
WDC 3gig HDD formatted FAT32 with existing Win98SE
Rexpower PX350 350 watt pws designed for k/7 k/8 p4 boards
3.3 - 20a
5.0 - 40a
12.0 - 16a
Conexant V92 voice/ data/ fax modem
Things I have done so far;
Video;
I have reinstalled all drivers from the OEM disc
I have installed the cirrus logic as I mentioned
I have swapped out the KM4M for another new KM4M with the same result, so I can only assume it is something I am doing wrong ( I am building two of these systems with the same board)
Modem:
This computer was on a cable network at its place of business, + the modem would work when it was still connected.
I have swapped out the modem with the same results
I have run AVG w/viruses found and deleted viruses
I have run Spybot and Adaware with spyware found and deleted
I have cleared, temp and temporary files
On occasion it will allow me into IE6 or Netscape for 1 minute or so.
With the exception of these two things the PC is running great.
Thanks again.

Help is badly needed

I've finished building a K8N NEO2 system last week but unfortunately the machine wouldn't post... All the fans and HDDs spin. There is no sound from the bios, and the D-bracket showed 2 red leds and 2 orange leds. What could be the problem? I've tried 2 CPUs but still no go... I've swtiched different rams and tried different ram slots, no go....
My system spec is as follow:
A64 3000+ S939
MSI K8N NEO2 Platinum
ADATA DDR566 512MB X 2
Creative Audigy
Intel Pro/100 S LAN card
4 HDDs, 2 DVD writers
Enermax EG-701AX Power Supply
Thanks in advance!

If you try Shanks' advice and you still have no joy, try removing the RAM entirely and see what happens. I know it sounds unlikely, but you could possibly have 3 sticks of bad RAM! The truth is often stranger than fiction....
But I guess at this point, if you can't try a friends RAM or anything, and you have 3 sticks and none of them work, then it would start looking likely to be a bad board....
Or you have inadvertantly broken something whilst building it.... I did notice that the RAM sticks were VERY difficult to insert fully on my system. Even though I did this outside the case, with the mobo resting on the packing sponge on a table, I was afraid I might break something. I have never had to exert that much force on a board before, but that could have been down to my RAM, of course...
But if this is a common finding, and you have been inserting RAM with it in the case, supported only by the backplate spacers.....
Anyway, I am at the limit of my limited knowledge. I would be thinking now of returning the board.
Hope you get some joy, please keep us informed.

I think my rams are ok coz I've tried running them on my PC #2. Anyway I'll back home from office now and god please bless me :hypecrite:

Suggestion for new M.Board

i'm thinking of upgrade my pc to Intel Core 2 Duo E6420 Processors (2.13GHz), but totaly no idea which mainboard to choose.
i was consider this two...
MSI P6N-SLI-F L775 Mothertboard
P6N Diamond
(SLi ready is optional)

I had a evga 680i board back in feb, it worked for a month then went through 2 bad boards they rma'd me, the 2 they sent both wouldn't post. Had my fill of them and searched and searched and ended up choosing the p6n diamond. Ordered it about 2 weeks ago and finally the store got one for me yesterday. Gotta say the board seems to be put together very well, good instruction manual as well. Put my machine back together last night and updated everything. Board seems to be stable and running smooth. Again great layout on the board and I like how the nb, sb coolers have a cooler on the edge of the board too.

FF code on MSI 990fx-GD80V2 mother board

So here is the issue. A couple weeks ago my computer crashed. When i say crashed, it just completely turned off instantly. After re powering the machine, i get no video but everything powers up, all fans spin, graphics card led lights come on etc. To put a long story short, after investigation i assumed it was the mother board and/or processor and replaced them both. During this process i had to RMA a bad 990fx-gd80v2... now i have another one and it is doing the same damn thing the original one was doing. Everything powers up but there is the pesky FF code on the led post read out. Guys i have done everything within my IT knowledge base to test and fix this issue. Now i am asking for your help. I have also replaced the power supply just in case. I have tested all boards in a bench setup on cardboard, tested each individual stick of ram, tested multiple processors and psu's...is it possible i got ANOTHER bad board or is this something crazy to do with the BIOS?
Specs are as follows
MSI 990fx-Gd80v2 mainboard
Amd 8120 zambezi eight core processor with stock cooler (was liquid cooled with original board but removed)
16gb G-SKill Ripjaw series DDR3
EVGA Geforce GTX 590 Classified 3GB
Silverstone 1500 watt PSU
2 Seagate Barracuda 7200 1TB sata drives
Blu-Ray drive
6 fans ranging from 80mm to 150mm
Any input would help. Thanks guys.

When you get them, install just 1 stick of memory and do a full cmos clear. If it works, check the bios version and if it stable update to the most recent.
That cpu requires B5, which I think the v2 ships with:
7640vB5.zip
So long as the bios is at leave b5, go ahead and add the other stick and go from there. You can also try just a single stick of the memory you already have, then switch them, perhaps 1 stick is bad.
let us know how it turns out.

M8000n bad motherboard

I have a m8000n media center desktop that has no video, no post beeps.
The fans are all running so my assumption is that it is a bad board.
On the HP site, there isnt a checkbox next to the motherboard that would allow me to order a replacement.
So my question is, will a standard mATX board work?

Hi,
I'd start by unplugging all peripherals, and remove all memory except for 1 memory stick. The only thing you should have plugged in is the monitor, keyboard, mouse, and power supply.
Then power up and see if you get the BIOS display at least and the POST beeps.
I'd also try a different power supply. The fans run on probably one voltage, so it's possible that the power supply could go bad and still have the fans turning.
BTW, this board is for laptops, you might be better off posting in one of the other boards...

Z77A-GD65 - Bad Lan?

I'm putting together a new Server 2012 Essentials build and it appears that the LAN on the new motherboard may be bad. I have confirmed it is enabled in the BIOS, LEDs are on and blinking but Server 2012 does not see it and when I attempt to install MSI LAN drivers the install states that 'no Intel Adapters are present'. I confirmed that the MAC address in the BIOS and on LAN sticker are the same and I've attempted to disabled re-enable from the BIOS. I also attempted to install the Intel drivers but received the same 'no Intel Adapters are present' message'.
Any ideas or suggestions? Or do I just have a bad board?
Thank you in advance.

Thank you for all the replies.
From what I read, the Intel 12.1.77.0 LAN driver should have added support for Windows 8 and Server 2012. I will try to reset as suggested, but I'm still leaning towards I have a bad LAN port. For what it is worth, all other drivers installed fine.
I also didn't want to bore you with all the initial details when I stated it was a server build...but although this is build for Server 2012, it is a home build to replace an aging HP Mediasmart server running WHS which is on it's last legs (used to server up all my media). The limitiation of 4 internal SATA drives in the Mediasmart forced me to external encosures which is where most of my problem lies. Any issue with a drive in the external enclosure brings down all the drives in the enclosure. In additional, the version of WHS I am using just hasn't been as reliable as I had hoped and along with the Mediasmart being headless has created numerous headaches for me. The Mediasmart also only had one eSATA multiplyer so I was forced to also use USB enclosures with the Mediasmart only supporting USB 2.0 (which you are all aware of the bandwith limitations).
I was hoping a new low power (I5-3470T 35W) build with 12 internal SATA drives utilizing Server 2012 Essentials.
I will reply on the outcome. Thanks again.

Bad Board?
