i just built a new computer and it wont stop with these sudden lag spikes... iand its not just lag spikes because my graphics card its like internet lag spikes... like if im playing a game my internet can just randomly stop working for 3 seconds and then its back again like nothing happened and its the same thing when im at a friend or at my mom so the problem isnt just a bad router or somthing like that... im thinking it might either be how i built my pc or it might also be because my motherboard is broken in some way... i dont know it might also just be some random setting so yah thats what i am wondering. what do you think the problem is? and how do i solve it??

im 99% sure its not just my internet since my brother doesnt get these lag spikes on hes pc and its not just the game that pauses and i know that because i can still move but noone else is and i get popped back into the position i just was in. i usually use wifi but i have tried with cable too and it didnt really help. and im just using the wifi adapter that came with my motherboard which is a gigabyte z97x gaming 5 mini itx version with a 1150 processor socket. i also have 16gb of ram a gigabyte gtx970, and a intel core i5 4690k.
 


Check for newer drivers for the network card, if you have not done it yet reboot the modem and router.

i did but they are up to date. i now noticed that my packet loss procentage is most of the time at 0% but when i get the lag spikes it goes up to 100%
