I've faced problems with my Ethernet connection for over five days now. It's been frustrating, and I've tried everything possible. When I connect the cable, it shows internet but disconnects quickly with irregular pauses. I've updated drivers, used new cables, and have a stable setup with Cat5e from the router to my PC. My PC specs are listed here: GTX 1060 (3GB), ASUS M5A78L-M motherboard, 16Gb DDR3 RAM, AMD FX 6300 CPU, 1TB SSD, 850W power. What might be causing this inconsistency?

The outdated Ethernet port or chip on the board is expected given its age.

I'll look into the Windows event log. Yes, the machine appears to have a single network interface to prevent looping.

It operates with a single network interface.

I acquired my PC about a year ago, so it's still relatively new.

It seems like your Ethernet connection might have stopped functioning completely.

The hardware is quite outdated. The FX CPUs were released between 2011 and 2014. It looks like the Ethernet cable might be the issue.

It seems it likely remained in the packaging for a long time, possibly even a factory refurbishment. The platform is quite outdated, and production has been halted for a while before you purchased it.
