Hello, I have a weird thing happening to my internet.

My internet never drops out when im on, youtube, forums, Facebook anything like that.
But, when ever I start playing games (Minecraft), it drops out, it drops out about once every 5-10 minutes, when I do drop out of the game, I have to disconnect from the internet and reconnect to fix it, but then it just does it again in 5 minutes time.

I dont think its my internet, I think its my computer that is the problem.
My friend came over the other day and we were playing on this minecraft server and I kept disconnecting from the game and he was never disconnecting.

It also disconnects Skype if im on that whilst playing games, its not the game that is the problem, I think its my computer, this doesn't only happen when i play minecraft, it happens when im on any game on steam as well.

When I do disconnect from the game, I can still go on the internet and watch youtube and everything but I cant play the game, Ive said something similar to this on another forum and they said it could have something to do with my drivers, but I dident know what to do about it so It never got fixed.

I use WiFi not a Ethernet cord also.
Also, sorry if I put it in the wrong category.

If you know how to fix it or anything that could help, please reply to this.
Sorry if that dident make sense.
Thanks.
:)

I am having the same problem as Rehz. The only difference is that mine will stay connected for about 15-20 mins of gaming.

I have a Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 15
Window 8.1
802.11bgn (wireless type)
No warning, notification, or record in the event logs. Acts like it never happened
It describes my WIFI connection as "Limited" (no internet access)

I know it is not the network because my other devices will stay online no problem. This problem has bothered me for a little over a week and is getting extremely frustrating. ANY help will be extremely appreciated.
