    most definitely......so if it is a software or internal issue with the networking it should work once i do the recovery, correct?
    how long does it take to do that?

      I'd probably go for reinstall.
      Timing depends mostly on the size of your hard drive (how long to format). In most cases, 1-2 hours for a whole process.

          Honestly, I'm running out of options here.
          You may need professional check.

                I have no opinion on that. It's always risky.

                  I have the opposite problem on a windows 7 machine - installed a pci lan card and lost video - remove the lan card - PRESTO - I have video - reinstall the lan - poof - video gone
                  any thoughts?
