have you tried to t check netowrk property, right click on the network card --> property --> check on the box indicate display when there is a link detected (or something like that)

Check Device Manager and see if NIC is installed and working properly first.

Also check if enable in BIOS. Did it occur to you that the built-in LAN port could be faulty?

I have to agree that reformating helps to solve most problems but reformatting every so often is not desired. Always make sure there is another partition or harddisk where you can store all your data. You don't want all those hours of downloading to go to waste.
