Completely random, the ethernet connection just stops working. I've tried different cables, ran it straight to the router (usually connected to a switch) and connected straight to the modem. Nothing works. I just sits there and tries to connect over and over again. I've had a problem with this computer recently where the connection just dropped out of nowhere, but I ran the troubleshooter and it fixed it. Now the troubleshooter is saying a cable is broke or disconnected. I restarted the computer and reinstalled the ethernet driver. Not sure what else to do or why it would just randomly drop out like that. It stopped working in the middle of me watching something on Netflix. It was working fine when I started it. My 2 other wired computers and my 2 wireless computers are working fine. The only thing I can think it would be is that the onboard ethernet just died... The motherboard is only 5-6 months old...
