My rig can connect to the network on 2 out of the 4 ports. The NIC driver has been updated to the latest version. I'm using the intel ethernet connection i218-v and updated the driver to version 23.1. My other system can connect to all 4 ports without issues. Is my NIC failing or is it something else?

I think I figured out the problem. Computer started crashing today and during boot I was getting "power surge detected from PSU" messages. This is all while I'm thinking my nic is gone because I zapped it, I've opened my pc like 20 times and the last time I opened it I was messing around with the fan profile settings on liquid cooler. Found some info online about PSU possible causes and someone said it could be a loose 20 pin connection and that also can cause problems with other onboard devices.

I thought about what I did last time I was inside the case and I had to pull a bunch of wires tangled up and get one of them through the backside for an extra HDD because it wouldn't reach at first. Figured I would just look around and see if I could see anything going on with the PSU. Then I glance over and see that I somehow managed to pull out the 20 pin slightly, I never thought that was possible since it has a snap on it but alas. Pulled it off, put it back on just to be extra sure and no crashes but just thought I would try the first 3 ports on the xr500 again. And whaduya know? It works on 1, 2, AND 3!
What can you learn from all this? Well it's simple really: even if you have no idea what you are doing, sometimes you just get lucky and figure it out before you go out and buy a PSU that you don't need.
