Hey guys so im gonna try and get rid of most questions.

My computer has been having this connection problem for at least over a year i get random huge spikes or disconnects from the internet but at the same time my wifes computer has no such problems.

I have tried a new network cable, swapping the cable on the router ports and swapping cables with my wife, so surely that eliminates the router being the problem and i dont see how it can be a ISP problem.

Just to clear up i can play games or watch streams fine but all of a sudden the streams will pause and i will lag out for 1-10mins or disconnect.

Any one have ideas?

First thing you can do is see if there is an updated driver for your NIC. Second thing you should do is observe your computer's active and passive connections. You can open command prompt and type in: netstat -anob

Netstat is a utility that can show you all active connections when accompanied with one or more switches (ex: -a). The switches do the following:
-a: shows all "listening" ports
-b: shows the Process ID
-n: shows all "established" ports
-o: shows the name associated with the Process ID

Since your spikes seem to have a large window, the ideal times to run this are:
1. The first thing you do after booting up (if you leave computer on, restart it);
2. Just before gaming or streaming; and
3. While the lag is happening

Compare all three logs and see if there is something silently running and taking away your resources.

Lastly, if you need to kill a process, open Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc); select the process (in the Processes tab); Click End Process.
