If the connection is under load ex. downloading files, it will suddenly stop working and disconnect. This then causes the computer to freeze every 5 seconds in 1 second intervals. I have tried updating the BIOS and LAN drivers but nothing has yet to work. The internet does work under wireless with no issue. The lights on the LAN port are a flashing green. This all began to happen shortly after reinstalling Windows 7. (not sure if related). Motherboard is DZ77GAL-70k intel. Anyone know any possible fixes to this issue?
