Event viewer error help

I built my PC a few weeks ago, but a couple days ago I noticed in the event viewer this error , rt640x64 Realtek Gaming 2.5GbE Family Controller has a Hardware IO error, repeating infinitely. Even though the error is being reported nothing is actually messing up. If I reset the PC or disable the device it stops until I turn the PC off and on again. Sometimes the error doesn't even happen at all. Is this something I can just ignore or do I need to do something about it?

    Ensure that you have the latest drivers for your Realtek Gaming Ethernet Controller. Visit the Realtek website or your motherboard manufacturer's website to download and install the most recent driver version.
