Hello,
I am having serious issues with the Gigabyte X79-UD3 and the onboard Intel 82579V network card. At random, the network connection will drop, especially while streaming movies from the fileserver or doing large data transfers on the network. I have to restart the computer, for the network to work again or disable the network card for several minutes and then re-enabling it.
The 82579V appears to have numerous issues over the years. Here are two similar cases:
Intel 82579V Issue
Slow Network with Intel - Guru3D.com Forums
I have over 15 other devices on my network with ZERO issues. I tried a fresh install of Windows 8 Pro x64 with same problem. Tried several Intel drivers, and installing JUST the base drivers. No Intel Proset or advanced settings component. I noticed the stock W8 Intel driver is bit more stable, but still issues.
Things I have tried:
I noticed there is a new F12 BIOS for my board that recently came out so I will give that a shot tonight, otherwise try disabling the Windows 8 fast start up feature as someone mentioned trying that on that huge Intel thread. Looks like it is a common issue, but sad that after 2 years they have not fully fixed this network card. Thinking about just buying a PCI-Express Intel NIC as it seems less hassle then RMA'ing the board.
Any one have any suggestions?

No Intel Proset or advanced settings component. I noticed the stock W8 Intel driver is bit more stable, but still issues.
Things I have tried:
- Latest Intel Drivers, the full featured proset version and also just the base.
- Different network cables
- Connecting directly to router instead of switch
- Latest MEI firmware and drivers
