Hey guys/gals. I couldn't find the answer to my specific scenario, so I apologize if there's already a thread covering it.
While using my PC at home, the PC suddenly shut off on its own unexpectedly. I was using an older power cable that I don't normally use because I left the other at a friend's place. I wiggled the power cable in tighter, turned the PC back on and it started right up. When I tried to open my browser, it said I had no connection. Tried several different browsers. It's normally connected by an onboard ethernet connection to a router. I actually have 2 routers total, which are both wireless. I have a wireless card installed in my PC, which I know was working the day before. I tried connecting to both routers wirelessly. My PC says it's connected, but it's not connecting to the internet. My smartphone and other devices are connecting to the internet just fine both wirelessly and via ethernet. My PC's devices are all showing as working properly and enabled under Device Manager. I tried using the setup wizard, troubleshooting wizard, and setting up a new network, same result - No connection to internet. I tried turning off my firewall, no change. Any help you can provide will be much appreciated. I think I read somewhere that I should check the DNS settings? If those are good, are there any other possibilities?
My specs:
Acer Aspire M3450
AMD FX (tm)-4100 Quad Core Processor
12 GB Ram
64-bit win 7
802.11n wireless lan card
Ms virtual wifi miniport adapter
Realtek PCIe GBE family controller.
Thank you.
