Network problems on the B550 motherboard
Cleaned up hidden and unused drivers. Performed the BIOS upgrade to Ethernet via Gigabyte site, but results remain unchanged.
Unless you really enjoy that board, I’d opt for something that looks more capable in terms of driving and system handling right now.
If you return the board and they check it, and they tell you it doesn't function properly now, I'd suspect a power-related problem. It could be that your PSU or any component connected to the board is damaging it or supplying more power than necessary. The previous test showed it didn't work, but they replaced it with a new one and it did. If it fails again during testing, I'd be concerned about an electrical issue. Using another brand might not help if the problem stems from a design flaw that affects all models.
