Marvell aqnic650 10g on mobo crashes on high throughput

[Teletha]

So i just newly got this new mobo that has built in 10g and i have the weirdest problem I've seen. 

The nic works great until it sporadically crashes and loses network connection. when it looses connection it will never come back by itself again i have to disable and re-enable the adapter again. 

I previously had a tp link 10g pci-e card which i had 0 problems with. Not sure what is going on here, im on the latest driver from marvell which is 1 step newer from asus driver page.

There is no error logs in event viewer at all when it crashes.

Have you looked for any new drivers for Windows 11?

[Teletha]

maybe i fixed it.

i uninstalled it and then instead of using the .exe to install i just browsed via device manager the drivers from the asus folder instead and installed them that way. Seems to be stable now. 138GB received and no crash!

hm it did hold up a bit longer but it happened again now 2 times but the first time was a light disconnect but the 2nd one a couple of days later was a hard lockup and i needed to reset the adapter for it to start working again.

 

while it was being locked up i checked ipconfig;

really weird it looks like it reverted to another IP cause it can't reach the DHCP server?  i tried to force the IP it should have from the router since it is a static ip set on the router for the MAC

it managed to apply it but it still wont connect, not even the LAN since i still can't reach my router:

I'm out of ideas. i can only get it to work again if i disable and re-enable the adapter then it starts working again.... 

im wondering if it is a bad windows install since i did just move my nvme disk from my AM4 5950x build to this am5 and then upgraded from win10 to win11 on the am5 system via the windows update thing so not a clean install or anything. But i am sceptical to that since everything else is working great. 
its either that or a bad network chip?

I had issues with a PCIe card AQC107 on Windows 11, it got so bad it crashed the entire network stack needing a reboot to fix, even the on-board gigabit would stop working at that point.

 

I don't really understand it, that same card is now in my Linux server and working perfectly.

Seems to be win11 issues according to the Asus support:

 

Windows 11 have had some issues after some recent Windows updates unfortunately, but one thing that can be worthwhile to check here is a certain setting called EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet) which sometimes works as a "sleep function" in certain scenarios. 

 

Go to the device manager, go to network adapters then rightclick on your ethernet adapter and choose "properties". In the pop-up window go to the "advanced" tab. You should then turn the EEE to off as shown in the picture below (there might be a different worded ethernet adapter unit in this picture, but you choose your ethernet adapter for this):
