Good evening all! I have an issue I need help with please.
I have a Gigabyte Ga-Z97-SLI motherboard and I am running Win Server 2008 R2 64-bit on it and it works very well! I added an extra NIC Card for redundancy. The NIC Card I added works great! The issue is the set-up CD for the motherboard is not compatible with WS 2008 R2. The specs on the motherboard reads that the on-board LAN is an Intel GbE LAN chip (10/100/1000 Mbit). I cannot find a driver for the on-board LAN. I have tried several drivers and on a couple of them that I tried, the driver cause a BSOD. So I have to be really cautious on what I try. Is there anyone that has had an issue finding LAN drivers for the motherboard and /or the OS (WS 2008 R2)? Please help if you can. I would also like to hear some troubleshooting methods on this issue as well. Thank you for your time
