My comps internets topped working while i was away, theo thers still work but mine doesnt. I've updated all the drivers and such, and it hasnt had a problem for a year.

Virus scanned, updated chipset (using a8n-e and onboard network)

Any ideas? The green light is just red. Tried switching network cords and slots with working ones as well.

Okay, now I'm confused.

After 3 hours of reinstalling chipsets and drivers, and doing the same things over again.

it all the sudden works... kind of

Internet is working, but the thing is still blinking orange. No way in hell am I rebooting in fear of it not working again.

just for the sake of it, try using a Linux LiveCD to see whether it might be a problem with the OS. if it's still there, as TeeJay said, time for a new network card. if not, try to reformat.
