Some more ideas:
- check the cable
- check the switch port.

Gbps ethernet uses four pairs while 100 mbps use two pairs and the cable specifications need to be better for the former.

Some switches have not all of their ports gbps capable.

This doesn't rule out a faulty cable or port. You might also try advertising 1000 gbps half-duplex.
