Hi There,
Hope someone may have a solution or point me in the right direction. I recently took the plunge to build my own PC as an experience to learn more of this growing trend. My build and OS install seemed to have gone fine, but I seem to be getting this intermittent issue where while on the internet and accessing websites, to apparently not be able to connect or reconnect to a link on a website. I would get a "Webpage Unable to Connect" message come up saying there may be some issues with my internet connection.
This I know for a fact I have a live connection, cause my wife would be surfing on her PC and the internet connection icon would be visible in the taskbar. Similar issues when I try to update or connect to download e.g. on Steam games it would say unable to connect. I am using Win8.1 and I have a feeling it could either be some setting that needs to change or program, or maybe my LAN driver (which I thought I updated) or some software component. I am also using Chrome as my browser. I don't really want to go poking around in the WIN registry or some where i am not meant to be messing around to make things worse.
I would appreciate any help available. I have googled this issue and there seem to be many people with similar issues, but there also seem to be dozens of solutions or ways that "could fix" the problem. Pointless having a pimped out PC which can't do the most basic function. Here are my PC specs...
i7 4790k
Asus Z97 Gryphon mATX
Galaxy GTX 780 HoF
Corsair Vengeance Pro 2x 8gb 1866 DDR3
Corsair AX760 platinum
Windows 8.1 OS - Chrome internet browser
