Oh man, I feel really stupid after trying to fix this for so long. Generally, I have few problems finding fixes or causes for issues, I am trained in IT some myself, but I just have no idea what to do from this point.
The Problem: I have a desktop computer on which the connection intermittedly seems to become buggy. Things either don't load, or load very slowly. Importantly, it is not a full disconnect. While trying to figure out what was going on, I managed to do a speed test, which showed my download speed is the normal 50mb/s I am used to, while the upload speed is a couple kilobytes at best. Additionally, I often have a constant ping running to help my identify when the issue is happening. When the issue starts happening again, the ping test goes from being smooth successful pings to failing with a message of "Request Timed Out", but only about half the pings fail, and there is no regularity to which ones fail. While the issue is going on, I either completely lose connection or have one so slow that loading a simple webpage can take upwards of a solid two minutes. The problem is consistent across both my ethernet connection, and the wireless usb adapter I use. The only way so far to restore connection is repeated attempts to disable and re-enable the network driver a few times until a regular connection is restored. This issue has been going on for months, but has increased in frequency to the point that it can happen multiple times per hour.
What I have Tried that didn't work:
(this isn't an exhuastive list of every thing I tried, but it covers most of it)
My Build:
I desperately am looking for any help anyone can give me with this. I've been trying FOR MONTHS to resolve this. It's in the last few days that I replaced the motherboard and reinstalled windows on a fresh drive. At this point, I almost feel like it isn't even the same computer, yet this issue is equally as persistent as it was before! I can try to provide any info I missed, this is my first forum post.
I also have a image of what happens with the ping, but the forums seemed to state not to show ping info.
