Did you try pulling out the network card and rebooting? If it works after pulling it out, you might try plugging it back in (and make sure it's plugged in snug). I've had times when I've plugged in a new part for the first time, and the computer wouldn't boot. But then I took the new part out and plugged it right back in, and the computer booted fine.
Btw, you're right in the assumption that you would simply have two network cards, though with one obviously not working. It's been common for awhile for a network port to be included right on the motherboard. |
No, I was not working on the computer with the power cord plugged in. But, when I went to go hook everything back up, I plugged in the power cord before I had everything else hooked up, and I did not realize the computer was going to just come right on like that, so I quickly switched it back off.
And yes, I did unplug the network card which I had just installed, but that was not the problem. I dont know im pretty stumped with it, something is fried.
