Good evening,
I just installed a new graphics card in my tower.
My problem is that since the installation of the graphics card, I can no longer connect to the internet with my Ethernet cable.
I then looked in my device manager, the properties of my Realtek card show an error: (code 45).
The network connections folder is empty. When I run the Windows diagnostic, it tells me "Windows did not detect a properly installed network card. If you have a network card, you need to reinstall the driver."
I then uninstalled and reinstalled my driver, and it says "The Realtek Network Controller was not found. If deep Sleep Mode is enabled, please plug the cable."
I would need your help please.
Here are my specifications:
motherboard (ASUStek H97M-E Rev X.0x)
processor (Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4590 CPU)
memory (8192MB RAM)
Windows 8.1 64 bit
graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 ti)
network card driver (Realtek PCIe GBE family Controller)

    Hello

    Download this Ethernet driver to your desktop click here

    It's a zipped driver, you need to unzip it with 7zip (for example)

    The link if needed >> https://www.7-zip.org/

    PS: Choose the 64-bit version for your PC

    Run it as an administrator (right click) to install

    Once done, right click on the zipped driver and select 7zip >> extract to....

    Open the unzipped folder >> LAN >> W8.1 >> and run the SETUP as an administrator (right click)

    Restart the PC and let me know how it goes
