Out of the blue yesterday my computer stopped connecting to the internet.
I can connect to the internet directly from the modem, I cannot conncect through the router, but I can connect to the router.
I can connect through the router with many other computers/devices in the house.
It happened right before I restarted my computer with a few windows updates... but the internet connection died BEFORE they were installed...
"Troubleshoot" does not solve the problem. Just says wireless IP doesn't have a valid IP configuration.
Disabling/Uninstalling/whatever the wireless card I have doesn't solve the problem.
Virus scan said I'm fine- AVG and Malwarebytes both come back clean.
ipconfig on the bad computer gives me an IPv4 address that will not work.
ipconfig on a computer that connects to the internet gives me a totally different IPv4 address... that does not work on the bad computer either.
Other weirdness- lately whenever I had a few chrome tabs open, the cpu gatdget had my processor at 100%. This is a phenom 1100t x6, pretty fast, and a few internet tabs never taxed it at all before. Speedfan showed the processor running really hot, too, compared to normal. When I shut the tabs, it would go back down. I uninstalled chrome, but still can't get on the internet. (restarted many times now.)
Running w7 64bit.
Can someone tell me what the @#$@# is going on with this thing? And maybe even how it happened?
