So i have been having some problems with my internet connection lately on my homebuilt PC, and its driving my crazy.
When i plug in an Ethernet cable it works fine.. But then at random intervals i will lose my connection. I get a big red cross down in the taskbar, and it looks like my network card turns off, or restarts. Because it only takes 4-5 seconds for my connection to be up again. So for the first few weeks of my PC i had an external network card connected to my MOBO so i could use wifi since i didnt have lan connection. Then i removed the card and deleted its drivers, but even after that the problem persists.
It seems to be the worst when im joining a lobby or playing a game. Im 100% sure that the network is not to blame because my roomate is using the same switch as i am and he doesnt have these problems. I suspect that its the integrated network card that is to blame since it gives me the red cross in the taskbar, and that my roomate doesnt have these problems.
I have the MSI z87-g43 motherboard.
I live at a college so we only have a hole in the wall where we connect our switch and then our computers to the switch.
I really hope someone can help, its driving my crazy!
