Internet random disconnects... Is it a marvell driver?

[ric0chet06]

When I first turn my PC on, the first thing that pops up is about some missing "Marvell 88SE61XX Adapter" Now, since i upgraded to a P5Q Pro, this just started. I surf any website, it works fine for a few minutes then goes to "looking up www.amazon.com" and stays that way until i close the browser and restart it. Any ideas?

It could be the drivers or the router setting. Or it could be that the ethernet controller is dying slowly. Does it happen randomly while surfing, or some time after you haven't clicked on anything?

 

[ric0chet06]

it's pretty random. Just started happening after I uprgraded motherboards.

Did you make a fresh install of the OS? If you did not, could be drivers conflict, OS conflict, or like lopri told.
BTW, what OS are you using?

 

[ric0chet06]

I always wipe the HD whenever I upgrade anything. Fresh Windows XP.

Assuming you've used the system for more than a month or two, and this issue popped up, I'm inclined to think the ethernet controller is degrading.

Maybe not what you want to hear but try a PCI NIC and see if it fixed anything.
