ok, restarted, and it froze during reboot. restarted again and up and running. Ethernet controller still not working. Also, I found a folder named "CNNANT2009" with a bunch of .img files created in it, thing is they were created while i was not home. No one else has access to this computer. I was also noticing some slower internet speeds while remoting in. Slower than usual. And when I got home the ethernet controller was not working. There is approx 1.4 gigs of IMG files created. Any ideas?
