In device manager when you R click on the NIC does it have it set to
let power management to turn off the NIC. I don't know a lot about
them, just things I have found that worked with problems I have had in
the past. I think I would try a new NIC and see if it does it with it,
if so at least you know its something else causing it and may be able
to find out why. If the new one works fine then it would be the
onboard NIC that was bad.

Yup, already disabled.

I have another theory. I think I am having heat problem. I am getting
corrupted graphic textures, crashes, and blue screens in games and
OpenGL screen savers. Maybe the heat is affecting my network card. I
need to do more tests...

Can't be heat. I only had the system on for about 10-15 minutes from
being off for almost 12 hours. Amazingly overnight after the 10-15
minutes event, the network held on.
