Hi everyone.
So, I'm having problems with my Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H.
I've had it for a while, and one of the on-board NICs died.
Since I use that board for lots of network-related testing, I decided to just get a new PCI-e card, and not to RMA it.
I picked up an Intel Pro 1000 PT Quad Port LP Server Adapter.
Now the problem is, the motherboard just doesn't seem to recognized this card...
Stuff I've already tried:
- The Intel card works in another computer (ASUS x79 Rampage).
- Tried all 3 PCI-e slots on the Gigabyte.
- The Gigabyte's first slot does work, since it does recognize my LSI Raid Controller.
- Tried different PSU (First PSU I used only had 4-pin CPU power).
- Tried updating BIOS to latest beta available on Gigabyte website.
- Tried serveral OSes, including a customized ESXi/Vsphere and Windows 8.1.
- Changed BIOS PCI-e setting from AUTO to PCI-e gen2.0.
None of those steps have worked.
The device simply doesn't show up in device manager in Windows, not even as "unknown device" or something.
Does anyone have any idea of what could be wrong?
EDIT:
I temporarily stole a dual port card from one of my other machines, this one works fine.
Also, the heatsink on the quad port card does feel hot, so it must be doing something...
