Hello, i know i post threads on here and regularly end up figuring them out myself but this one has me baffled and i cannot figure it out.

First, i am wired and my connection when not downloading anything is absolutely fine all of the time

Whenever i try and download something on my pc, my modem goes into limited stage ( which is no internet connection)

This doesnt happen when i download something on any other device in my house just my pc. But when i try and download the internet goes off for everyone

so ofc its a problem with my pc, ive ran antivirus found nothing, flushed the dns. All of my drivers on my pc are up to date.

to note its all downloads on all platforms, steam, battlenet even google chrome

it will go with full download speed that i pay for , for about a minute then my internet will drop out.

This is also any size file, doesnt matter how big or how small.

Assuming you on a cable internet connection I would call them out to check the signal. I have seen bad signals from the cable company due to wiring issues that you would not believe. That would be my first step. If it is DSL.... latency is always bad. But you could try the same with them. I don't have much experience with DSL.
