togermano Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 This didnt happen on windows 7 but on windows 8 when I first turn the computer on the intel ethernet card driver has error 10 on it in device manager. If I go to device manager and go to refresh hardware changes or whatever it is the driver starts to work again. I wonder if because windows 8 starts so fast compared to 7 that maybe the ethernet isnt physically ready yet before windows 8 tries to load the driver?

IMO fast boot causes more problems that it does good Try going to Control Panel > Power Options > Choose what power buttons do > Click the box to enable changing of settings > Disable fast boot Reboot a couple times and see if that helps Also you could try Network Adapter properties > Disable the option to allow power savings to turn off this device Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
