it could be a problem with windows reverting to the wrong drivers on reboot, if it was a faulty nic i would expect it to flaw randomly, and i can't imagine why a uninstall and reinstall would affect it. When you get a 169, check the driver version and make sure it is using the official nic drivers instead of some random ones that windows has decided will be good for it.
