Hello,

I recently got a replacement motherboard and rebuilt my computer, everything is working fine besides the fact that windows xp cannot load new drivers, when i booted up i realized my built in ethernet controller was not working, so i popped in the disk to install the drivers went thru the process, rebooted. Still the same issue, it is not even recognizing the drivers i have tried multiple things any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I have tried using two different PCI ethernet cards aswell as a usb wireless adapter, all coming up with the same issue, "windows cannot load the driver for this device". I called asus tech support and they reccomend that I start from scratch and reinstall windows, I want to avoid that route at all costs. The motherboard is an Asus P5P800 and the built in ethernet controller is a Marvell Gigabit 88E8001...I've tried installing the drivers manually and with the installer nothing seems to be working. Thank you for your help.

Hi,

Check in BIOS to ensure that the Ethernet port is enabled.

Some Motherboards & BIOS versions have this feature.

Thats one of the first things I did, it's enabled, there is a feature to load LAN configuration ROM at boot or something like that i've tried enabling that with no luck.

Problem solved, turns out it was the powersupply which was brand new and I had already tested it on another PSU..just my luck huh? Well thanks for the support guys.
