Yes, SQL Server Error 4014 is often caused by bad drivers or network-related issues. Outdated or corrupted network interface card (NIC) drivers can disrupt data transmission, leading to this fatal error. Additionally, features like TCP Chimney Offload, Receive Side Scaling (RSS), or NetDMA may conflict with SQL Server operations. These networking problems interrupt SQL Server’s ability to read data streams properly. To resolve this, update drivers, disable conflicting features, or use MS SQL Database Recovery Software to restore data from a corrupted SQL database.
