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

      Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?

      Never used the G7 Pro, but I've never had a good experience with that style of d-pad and fighting games.

      And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂
