Very good motherboard - updated

Almost perfect motherboard. The only problem I have is that the top m.2 slot is not working. I tried reinstalling m.2 and checked the manual a couple of times to make sure I wasn't missing anything. I'll play around with it another day because it's working fine with the 2nd slot at the moment. This is January 27, 2021 (8 months after I bought this mobile phone). After logging in, connect to the internet on the first startup, and sometimes after connecting to the internet, some websites don't work and I have to restart my computer. This is a clean install of Windows (updated) with the latest network drivers and mobile BIOS. I deducted 2 stars for such an awful experience only 8 months after purchase. My old MSI Z97 motherboard doesn't even have these problems. It's 2/23/21 and I've officially had it with this motherboard. I ended up with gigabytes and this after giving them a second chance when I had them on 4th Gen Intel processors. Now my problems are that the LAN drivers from the real website are not working properly. I tried using the LAN driver 1.0.2.8 but it just hangs on the unidentified internet and can't connect so I had to revert to the previous version. I've never had so many LAN driver problems in my life and I'm just tired of it. I order Asus or MSI. Gigabyte will NEVER get a dime from me!
