My internet was working fine up until a few days ago. My old video card died so I bought a new one. When I put in an old video card to test my computer, everything was working fine including the internet. Yesterday, I received my new video card and put it in and everything works fine, except now I have no internet on it and I keep getting a message from windows saying that there is no network hardware connected.
My first question is, is it possible to damage the motherboard when I put my new video card in since its a lot bigger compared to my other one (the 9800 compared to the 8800) and it only effect the internet part?
If not, how can i fix this?
Hello, this seems like a hardare conflict between the new video card and the ethernet port. try checking in the device manager for conflicts like yellow esclamation marks.
you can get there by going to start /control panel /system icon / devices / device manager
I'm sorry i forgot to comment on your first question. The motherboard should be ok with the new card. The size won;t matter,
But tell me, does the physical video card have any contact with the network adapter?

ok. It seems like a software conflict. Might i suggest trying to slot the network card into a different PCI slot?
