Got som gremlins, had 32gigs of ram, same sticks but different 2x8 packages, 4 sticks in total, timings and etc same. started to get som random freezes, after restarting usualy error codes for ram, after restarting again seemed to be working, today got random freeze again, restarted, and nothing worked, took out 2 sticks, started to work, but network card doesnt show up on device manager, tried reseting bios, tried installing driver from official web, now downloading linux to check if it shows up there, any other suggestions?

Booting into linux live usb ethernet card doesnt show up also. Is it possible that network port or mainboard is fked?

ifconfig -a or ip link show in the terminal

Welp. Ethernet port is on motherboard. But ye. It does not show up anywhere. Looks like its like not existing

#

Tryin now to update bios. Maybe that will help. But doubt.

bold night
#

Yeah, it being gone in both Linux and Windows is a pretty sure sign that it's dead.

#

You could see if you still freeze in Windows, it might have been because of the NIC

#

But all freezes were caused cuz of ram. Because error code was 1 long and 2 short beeps

And maybe check if your BIOS has a disable for it, in case it sometimes jumps back to life for a few seconds.

AMI is by far the most common BIOS and 1 long, two short is usually not memory with AMI

Asus website says ram

#

😂

#

Which board is it?

X470 plus gaming

#

Nop bios update did not help

bold night
#

Yeah, the manual says RAM. 1 long two short is usually VRAM on AMI BIOSes

tired sonnet
#

but i doubt that caused ethernet controller to die

bold night
#

No, but getting GPU errors would make more sense because both the GPU and network card connect over PCIe

#

for som reason i had problems with asus motherboards all the time, usualy with ram

#
