My network adapter doesn't load on first start up but if I restart after initial start up then it will work perfectly fine.
This problem started happening not too long ago after a week long spree of bad stormy weather that caused my house to lose and return power in quick succession. This caused my computer to shut off and boot up and shut off and boot up about 3 or 4 times before I could hit the power switch on my surge protector. It happened again the next day and I had to stop using my computer for the rest of the week to prevent further damage.
As a result my hibernation system file has been corrupted. I have since then turned off hibernation on my computer including deallocating the hiberation storage file on my C drive. So now my computer cannot hibernate, which isn't really an issue but I only mention it because I think the two problems may be related.
On first boot I get two indicators in my device manager that I have posted a screenshot for. On restart after initial boot I have no indicators and the second indicator labelled "Intel(R) Management Engine Interface" does not even show up under the system devices list in my device manager. Don't know if that has something to do with it.

So in summery my network adapter does not start on initial boot, but does after a restart. How do I fix this?
Note: My mobo has built in POST and I also have a POST card that might work with this mobo. If you need me to use this for additional information I can on request.
