Hello,

this is a problem that started happening a few days ago. Whenever I play an online game (e.g Dota 2), I lose internet connection after 7-8 minutes. I then have to do the windows error search thing in order for it to work again. I use Ethernet cable. I have rebooted router/modem, as well as reset the router (Zyxel P-2812HNU-F3) to factory settings. I have also formatted my computer. Nothing helps. I always lose internet after 7-8 minutes in any online game. It never happens when I am just browsing etc.

PC specs in case anyone is interested:
CPU: Intel i7 950 @ 3.07 GHz
GPU: Geforce 460
OS: Windows 7 64 bit
6 GB RAM

Anyone have any tips?
