My friend and I built my PC and were extremely cautious with the components. (We just built his about two weeks ago and everything is working perfectly) We installed the correct software, did a test boot, etc. General PC building precautions and preparations.
My specifications are as follows:
- Intel i5-3570k
- EVGA 660ti FTW+
- Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600Mhz (2x4GB)
- ASrock Z77 Extreme 4-M
- Seasonic M12 II Bronze Modular 750W PSU
- 2 TB 7200 RPM Hitachi HDD, Blu-Ray Optical Drive, Corsair SP120 fans, etc.
- Corsair 350D case & Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
- I don't have a wifi card so I use a broadband ethernet connection. I also own a very high quality Zoom router/modem combo that is $150+. All of the other devices; smartphones, tablets, game consoles, etc. work fine and never randomly disconnect + have full bar connections, so I assume the problem is with the PC. I have used multiple different new ethernet cables as well as a cross over cable and the internet continued disconnecting every so often. As I type this, I was Skyping with my friend and a yellow triangle exclamation icon at the bottom right of my taskbar appeared on the internet icon which seems to look like a computer monitor with a cable on the left for the image. To fix this, I have to unplug the ethernet from the router, wait a few seconds, and then plug it back in. Sometimes I have to do this procedure multiple times and even unplug it from my computer and the router to get the internet to work again. I have consulted multiple computer technicians and one of them updated my entire system when it came to software such as motherboard drivers, graphics card drivers, etc. The connection is good when I play games. My ping is generally below 80, my games on steam still won't download faster than 700kb/s, but the major problem is my internet randomly disconnecting. Sometimes Youtube videos will load extremely slow, my ping will shoot up in game, and my Skype call will drop to 2/5 bars.
I also used the same hard drive that I used in my old AMD computer, but now I have intel and Nvidia. I switched chipstets, but did a clean install of the OS. At first I had some conflicting drivers, but I uninstalled everything AMD, cleaned my registry and all of my apps using ccleaner. Games run flawlessly and my system works fine with the exception of it not turning on if it is off for more than a few minutes as well as the internet sometimes randomly disconnecting and having very slow download speeds and high ping on some occasions.
Any ideas what would cause this?
