I was playing league of legends one day and notice small lag spikes. Then when i come back 7 hours later, I see some lag spikes rarely and then notice my internet disconnected. I try to go on the router IP, and I couldn't connect. I change ports on my router, still nothing. 10 minutes later, randomly it re-connects and i notice longer lag spikes and more lag spikes, like frequent ones. Then it disconnects 10-15 minutes later and doesn't connect back.
The next day i experiment using different ethernet chords and ports and it doesn't work. Yet, when I plug in that same chord, it works on the laptop. I concluded the NIC and ethernet port stopped working. I give a support ticket to the ASRock manufacturer and he tells me to uninstall drivers and re-install from a provided link. I did that and still nothing.... It has to be hardware issues. No reason for a PC operating for a year perfectly, since the last windows re-install to randomly stop connecting to the internet.
The motherboard is ASRock z68 extreme 3 gen 3
My friend suggested me to buy one of those pci NICs or ethernet adapters. I believe there might be more major problems and I want to take advantage of the warranty.
What do you guys suggest, thanks.
