[HELP]Mac Address is not Valid both CMOS and FLASH!!!
Hi
I have a problem on may mother board Asrock N68-S UCC i search on the internet as well at the asrock support page FAQ and i found ideas, main ERROR is (MAC ADDRESS is not VALID BOTH CMOS and FLASH). based on my research it need to write the mac address to solve this problem because the address is already erased. i have my bootable drive to re-write it but i don't know where to find the mac address on the mother board.
i hope you help my problem thanks!

Are there any recent changes to your system?
Did you try clearing your cmos to see if this would help?
To avoid receiving spam, it's best not to post your email address.
If you want to show your address, it's best to insert spaces, such as: afb_away @ yahoo.com

Loading OPTIMIZED bios defaults is REQUIRED before you tweak your bios settings.
This includes new system setups and immediately after flashing your bios!!!

What does windows Device Manager show for your Realtek network LAN device?
Download the most recent Lan device driver for your LAN chip.N68-S = RTL8201EL / 8201CL?
N68-GS = RTL8211CL?
Realtek LAN Drivers might have the correct driver for you to download. Be sure to download the win7 zip file driver for your system. There are many websites where you can download the most recent LAN drivers once you know which model number that you need.
Uninstall the existing LAN Driver, unzip the downloaded driver and run the installer (.exe) program from the folder with the unzipped LAN driver files.
The Realtek website is sometimes a bit of a PITA to find the right file for your system.
The ASRock website for your motherboard might have a fairly recent LAN driver that might work.
Is Onboard LAN enabled in the bios?
Are either of the LAN connector lights on or blinking? If yes, which lights and what color?

Re: [HELP]Mac Address is not Valid both CMOS and FLASH!!!
If you go to command com (cmd) and type ipconfig /all, what MAC address do you find?
