Experienced some odd problems with my main PC's motherboard Ethernet recently. It tends to fail in the afternoon or evening, usually between 3pm and 8pm, without a clear pattern. The issue persists even when connected to another network switch, so it’s not related to that. I switched cables, reinstalled drivers, reset settings, and even tried manual IP/DNS assignments and router resets. However, once it powers off, it restarts the next day and works again in the evening. It’s really frustrating. I usually switch to Wi-Fi when it drops, but I lose all bandwidth for my NAS and experience slow speeds in games. Any advice would be appreciated.

PC Specs: MSI Z107a Gaming Pro i7 6700k @4.7GHz, 16GB, 3600MHz DDR4, Windows 10 64-bit, EVGA GTX 1080 Ti, 512GB SSD, Samsung M.2 (main drive), two 3TB WD Green (RAID 1), and a 2TB MX300 SSD. Network setup: Plus Net hub, one router, Asus RT-N66U with Merlin firmware, and Linksys 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch.
