Hello,
I updated my Maximus VI motherboard to the latest BIOS (from asus' website) yesterday. I had been experiencing frequent blue screens and found a post indicating that others with the Maximus VI were receiving the same BSOD error and that updating the BIOS fixed their issue. Anyway, everything seemed to go well yesterday. My system appeared functioning, no BSOD (thought it was only occurring 2-3 times/week, so it's still unknown if this resolved them or not). I got home from work today and woke my computer up (it sleeps after ~3 hours and was left running all night). When I woke it up, I received an error stating that it was unable to resume windows normally and that it recommended I reboot my machine if I continued with the wakeup. I rebooted my machine, and now I have no internet connectivity.
Automatic IP configuration returns a 169.254.x.x IP address, manually setting my IP address using the correct subnet, default gateway and DNS servers does not resolve the Internet or network connectivity issue. I believe something with the BIOS update is the cause of this problem. Does anyone here any ideas? I'd really like to get my machine working asap. I am currently running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
Thanks in advance!
UPDATE:
I tried updating the BIOS again using the same update (same USB flash drive, just re-ran the update). This appears to have resolved the network adapter issue... I am concerned the problem will return. Does anyone have any notion as to what might have happened?
