My internet has been acting weird recently. At first, I thought it was just an issue with the internet card in my PC but it's not! If I leave my computer idle for a couple hours whenever I come back the internet acts like it doesn't work. Certain apps say things like "spontaneously lost connection to server" It does this with pretty much all of my applications and programs on my PC. Except for Steam and certain websites on Googlechrome. Like, whenever I try to go to any website it shows me that picture of the sad file and it says "This site cannot be reached "----- website is currently unreachable. ERR_CONNECTION_FAILED"... But, if I try to hit the "Gmail" tab on the google home page it takes me to Gmail just fine! Sooooo... Steam and Gmail are the only things that work? It always disconnects all my other programs like Skype, Discord, Battle.net, etc. So I have no idea why it lets me use Gmail and Steam. I've checked the firewall settings, I've reinstalled my network drivers, I've restarted my routers and modems too! It just doesn't work. When this problem was first happening I could restart my PC and when it turned back on everything would work just fine until I left my PC alone for a while and it would do it again. But now! I tried restarting and it didn't fix it! I can't tell if it's because I just upgraded to SSD drives and the boot happens too quick or something? But even restarting my PC doesn't work! All the rest of the wifi in my house works! I have a big huge LAN cable running from the modem in my living room all th work way to my office and into a router I have to boost the signal to the other side of the house and from that router I have various other connections to things like my PC and my Xbox. My Xbox works fine! It's just most programs on my PC. It feels like I've tried everything! Help would be much appreciated.

Alright, I unchecked the "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" And now we wait. If this works you are literally my favorite person of the month.
