Enable View Hidden Devices in Device Manager and see if you can detect any problems.

Check if the relevant services are enabled in Admin. tools.

Please check properly that the hardware is still working or not.

Woops! Thats only the Realtek packet scheduler. It means that the network adaptor is not getting detected. Check the BIOS again. If its not disabled then there surely is some hardware problem. It doesn't show as a problem device either.
