If you know what's causing this, I am interested to know more information.

I leave my computer on at night, and when I come back in the morning, the
NICs are both off. The only cure i've found is to turn the computer off and
unplug it briefly. Rebooting will not help.

This board has been running without issue for 8 months prior to this
development. I moved the computer home (carefully), hooked it to a similar
network, and set up on another profile (from domain to workgroup).

I"m only using one of the NICs.

Other components: Seasonic 500W PS, X2-5600 (8% o/c), Radeon 3850, HTO
Striker, WD Raptor 74GB

Thanks in advance for your help.

In Device Manager, under the Power Settings tab of the Properties page
for your NIC, look to insure the block for "allowing the PC to turn off
the device to save power", is unchecked. It may have gotten changed if
you updated your Chipset/NIC drivers recently.
