Blue screen when plugging in the RJ45 cable

Hello.

I don’t know if someone can enlighten me on this problem... I’m stuck....

So, on a tower that I recovered, I formatted it and reinstalled the OS. Originally Windows 7 Pro, upgraded to W10 Pro, and when I got it, I thought let’s try W11 without the TMP....

Anyway, the installation goes well, the drivers install themselves just fine. But when I wanted to connect the tower to the internet via the RJ45 cable, I got a nice blue screen....

It rebooted by itself, I left the cable plugged in but couldn’t restart.

I disconnected the cable and the PC started up fine.

I tried with another cable, same result, blue screen.....

I thought it might be a driver issue. I then connected a Wi-Fi card to a PCIe slot. I uninstalled the network card. Restarted for it to reinstall, same problem... I looked for new drivers but nothing improved....

So I thought, well, bye-bye W11, I reformatted to W10... Same problem...

I then pronounced the hour of death for the network card. And I ordered a network card to be connected to a PCIe slot.

And here is where I’m lost..... Even with the card connected to the PCIe, same problem.... I don’t understand. A Wi-Fi card on PCIe works fine. But whether it’s the motherboard network card or the one I installed on PCIe: same result, blue screen.

I even removed the Wi-Fi card and plugged the network card into the same PCI, same outcome.

I just installed BlueScreenView in case it helps someone. I’ve had 3 crashes for 3 screenshots.

Thank you in advance because.... The original card causes crashes but another one does too....

    Hello,

    Question: what are you connecting your cable to? (a PoE switch, for example, which might send a little too much current...).

    Have you tried another cable and/or a different port on the switch/router?

    Do you have a USB network card to test if it's coming from the PCIe line?

    See you blux "Some people will try anything.
    That's how we recognize them."

    The cable is plugged into a wall socket.

    Never had any issues, it works with other PCs.

    I don't have a USB network card on hand. But the PCIe line works with a Wi-Fi network card, that's what I don't understand why it crashes with a wired network card????

      Your network cable carries electricity for the signal, so if for some reason current escapes -> unpredictable results...

      Have you tested another cable? Another outlet?

    Yes, I tested it with another cable and it doesn't change anything. I haven't tried another outlet, but I can do that. However, in my opinion, it won't change anything; the problem lies elsewhere. I will test it on another outlet and let you know the result.

    Well, without much surprise, tested on another outlet, even other outlets (on Switch and directly to the box), with 3 different cables: same end result, blue screen.
