It doesnt make sence, when im just browsing on internet explorer it never drops out but when i start playing games and going on skype with friends (whilst playing games)
the internet will drop out around 6 times an hour, but the weird thing is, only the game and skype say ive lost connection but i can still search the net and go on youtube and stuff like nothing happend

The internet can work even if there are shorter drops in connection. Even Skype can overcome short dropout. I would suggest that you ping some internet destination (google.com for instance) and see whether there are any lost packages during the time.

In other words. Run command line (Win + R, tpye cmd and click enter), than type ping google.com -t and wait for lost packages. If there are any, you might have problem with wi-fi connection or LAN. But usually this issue is caused by wi-fi temporary disruption.
