I've recently been suffering a peculiar problem with my PC.
When downloading things and using programs, internet speeds seem fine, close to what they normally are, but after a few minutes of usage (downloading or playing an online game) the connection drops, the computer still says i'm connected to the internet but nothing works: pages don't load, i'm disconnected from games and downloads stop. To resolve it, I only have to disconnect and reconnect to the network. Also, this problem only applies to my PC. It's been in the same position for the last 2 years at least and its only very recently I've been seeing this issue. (Wireless)

possibly the drivers are outdated.. OR you just have bad network cards in that one computer.. I have seen that before and had to put in an add in network card because the built in stuff was unstable. I would try and update the network drivers first though.
