i'll just preface this with saying that i've been browsing everywhere for solutions and they don't seem to be related. When i'm gaming my latency will be hovering around 80 ms and then will shoot to around 500 or >1000 ms, these occur every 4-7 seconds. I've checked resource monitor to see if a program is sucking it up, nothing. I've run Kasperky antivirus scans and got nothing, about to do avg. I've also run a speed test while running Guildwars 2, monitoring the latency on both, while the latency of speedtest.net stayed around 50 ms Guildwars 2 shot up to 1000. mind you, this occurs on all games such as League of Legends, Star Citizen, and Guildwars 2. one last thing, i had a bsod not too long ago that said "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" not sure if that's related.
EDIT: one quick thing too, my roommate runs league all the time and when my ping spikes, his remains stable.
Thanks for any help.

You need to test on a wired connection to see if it really is your machine causing it.

This is a extremely common issue with wireless and why everyone recommends you do not use wireless to play games. If both you and your roommate use wireless and his is not affect it can be as simple as whatever is interfering with you does not affect his machine as badly. It can be a distance thing or a issue with a particular nic card. It really doesn't matter since you can't really fix random wireless issues. Someone could have a phone on in the car and as they drive by it might interfere how would you ever fix that.

If it does it on a wired connection then it is a matter of figuring out what is causing it. Common ones are antivirus...
