hardware isn't being recognized

okay, so i have an A890GXM-A2 motherboard from elite group.

 

I plugged the CPU in, clonezilla'd the old IDE hard drive to a SATA one. plugged the SATA drive in. Slapped some old gtx560 Tis in that shit. 

 

here's my issue. it has two LAN ports. the top on has it's 2 lights on constantly, the other has no lights on. (light: yellow for connected, green for data is moving) 

I tried installing the drivers from the ECS website here:

http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Product/Product_Detail.aspx?DetailID=1271&CategoryID=1&MenuID=19&LanID=0

 

however, it doesn't work, something about "if deep sleep mode is on connect the cable" which i thought was odd, so i checked device manager, no network device is dettected in device manager at all. WTF?

it also doesn't detect my graphics cards except the onboard chipset. (drivers worked fine for that.)

 

I can't RMA because it isnt in warranty,  is there anything else i can do? 

 

yes, i checked all power connections, RAM looks fine, check to make use LAN1 &2 were enabled in the BIOS, they were. checked for a bios update, there are none. any thoughts?

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

the south bridge that is controlling the LAN is prob faulty

 

you just have to get a PCI-E LAN card

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

it also doesn't seem to stay powered off, even when i shut it down or hold the power button for a hard off.

 

a LAN card might not even recognize because the graphics cards on the PCI-E rails aren't recognized.

it looks like the board is failing

 

just junk it and get a newer AM3+ board

 

what CPU you got?

Woah woah hold on. They used to be alright :P. I still got a couple P45T-AD3s kicking around. They can build a good board when they feel like it lol.

Anyways OP, I gotta agree with the others, sounds like that board is having some issues. Used to encounter the same failures with the old 790FX series too.

You can try disabling devices in the BIOS, that might help.

The New Machine: Intel 11700K / Strix Z590-A WIFI II / Patriot Viper Steel 4400MHz 2x8GB / Gigabyte RTX 3080 Gaming OC w/ Bykski WB / x4 1TB SSDs (x2 M.2, x2 2.5) / Corsair 5000D Airflow White / EVGA G6 1000W / Custom Loop CPU & GPU

 

The Rainbow X58: i7 975 Extreme Edition @4.2GHz, Asus Sabertooth X58, 6x2GB Mushkin Redline DDR3-1600 @2000MHz, SP 256GB Gen3 M.2 w/ Sabrent M.2 to PCI-E, Inno3D GTX 580 x2 SLI w/ Heatkiller waterblocks, Custom loop in NZXT Phantom White, Corsair XR7 360 rad hanging off the rear end, 360 slim rad up top. RGB everywhere.
