Help with Intel x540 nic - Unable to Flash or Install Drivers - Network Address reads 0000

Hey,
Looking for help with some 10Gig ‘Intel’ x540-T1/T2 Nics (See Below):

HALP

Need some pointers on fixing these Network Adapters. Unable to find a solution so far.
Details:
Two of the 3 purchased Intel Nics are no longer working, one X540-T1 and One X-540T2. At best they worked for a week and now no longer show a network address in the Flash Utility or allow a proper Install of Drivers in Windows (nor Or Pfsense).

–Tried updating the Firmware and get nowhere. Please help, any useful or direction info is appreciated .
