Might try unplugging a few minutes. Also might try resetting CMOS, usually a jumper on the board. I had an A7V-E where the onboard Rhino ethernet would fill up dmesg with error messages. Also ethernet transfers would gradually grind to a halt. Unplugging it a few minutes cured it. Been running fine many months since.
