Virus network adapter

I suspected the CD drive, which boots before everything else, but after pulling it out without a new result, I now suspect the broadcom gigabit integrated controller may be going bad. The motherboard is going bad, impeding the communication with the hardware devices.

Yet, when it works, it works. The motherboard was replaced a year ago to upgrade to a higher chip and fully tested. I'd like to keep this computer since it runs fine when the wireless card functions. So, please help with any ideas or suggestions.

I can see from web searches that this type of issue with device manager errors is common. Finding the right fix is another story. Dell Tech Support has actually been pretty helpful with drivers and hardware testing, but they can't pin down the problem and now want me to call the overpriced paid support. I'd rather try this board. Browse Community. Device manager frequently shows erro Turn on suggestions.
