I wasn't entirely sure whether to put this in the networking section or the power supply section, but here goes.
My internet has been slowed to a halt for the past 4 days or so and today I noticed a pattern where it would be fine until I turned my desktop PC on. I decided to run multiple speedtests on my phone and laptop with the computer turned on and off, and with it turned off, the speeds were totally normal (40-50mbps). As soon as it's powered up (before it even boots into Windows), it drops to 2 or less.
Here's the strange part - I ran these tests with my computer not connected to the internet in any way, shape or form. Could my power supply be failing and somehow causing problems with the modem? Is my computer just cursed? Should I bury it in the garden and offer up a blood sacrifice? Any help would be much appreciated.
