try it in another computer? Try it in another slot?
with all do respect still no one has completely satisfied an answer for this. these are al guess and check measures, There has to be a way to tell foe sure if the card is malfuntioning.
Welcome to computers. There is a lot of checking and troubleshooting. It's not going to be a single test and BOOM, a yes or no answer. For all you know it could be a bad PCI slot or a software issue. Or, hell, it could be misconfigured in the BIOS or something.
There is a lot of "guess and check measures" in the business of fixing and working with computers. Yes, with experience you can kind of spot the easy ones. You hear the symptoms and know exactly what is wrong, but that is still only 99% effective...
Sorry if my free answer was not enough for you.with all do respect still no one has completely satisfied an answer for this. these are all guess and check measures, There has to be a way to tell for sure if the card is malfuntioning.
Does it matter?Ok so if i swap cards and everything works then ok i would know the card was bad but i still wouldnt know what actually went bad in the card.

Fluke NetTool Series II Inline network tester would verify functionality for you. So instead of hiring someone for $100/hr or replacing the network card for $20, I'm suggesting a $2000 handheld device.
I need to know a way to prove 100% that the network card is bad. When a mechanic says ur motor is blown because it threw a rod. And u ask he how he is sure and he hands u a rod thats all bent and twisted hes proof positive thats what caused the engine to go bad.
