    my p150em has the realtek PCIe GBE family controller LAN port, it just stopped working out of the blue. it was still working well yesterday. the only major thing i did was install nvidia 310.54 beta drivers. i tried to disable it and enabling it, uninstal the driver and then installing again, update driver using windows update and updating using reseller's drivers. nothing works, attached a picture of my device manager

    Have you happened to try switching the other end of the cord into a different Ethernet port? I've had ports randomly die on me before.

    I see what you're saying. That is a bit strange. I'll research this a bit further and see if I can find a solution to provide.
