Well the MB saga continues. I decided to just upgrade my drive and bypass the IDE like I said and all went well for Windows installation. Start loading the Motherboard drivers and no LAN detected. So, it isn't as if the port has a loose connection, the whole damn chip isn't even seen by the computer. Tore apart the PC again, and am going to exchange the MB one more time. I have used ASUS brand PC products for years with absolutely no complaints. I am not getting another one of their MBs though. Too many issues with multiple parts. I am going to get another one that is about the same price, but does not have all the features the one I got did. Hopefully it will at least work as advertised.
