Basically it only happens that I've noticed is when watching youtube videos my internet cuts out. Never had this problem before and I cant seem to get it fixed. I get three different errors, one is "A network cable is not properly plugged in or may be broken", "The wireless network connection 2 adapter is disabled" which both of these just say Detected, Lastly, "Problem with wireless adapter or access point" which constantly gets fixed. The Wireless network connection 2 is a wifi miniport and I heard these cause nothing but problems with windows 7, so its set to disabled. Never had an issue before so I got a new wireless adapter thinking that would be the case and no luck. I have a D-Link DWA-140 Wireless adapter and my router is Linksys E1000. I've updated the drivers, and also disabled Ipv6 cause I heard that could cause another issue. Again, as far as I know this only happens when watching youtube videos, or streaming any videos as a matter of fact. Sometimes it happens on Spotify, I havn't tried any games yet or anything. I also have wireless on my laptop and that works just fine with youtube, twitch, spotify, but that's also running Windows Vista. My PC is running windows 7 ultimate. I just reset my wireless router to default to see if something got messed up, instead of the usual 30-50 seconds of video then cuts out, I got about a 1 minute and 40 seconds.

PS.. I have a broken hand, please excuse the typing errors, thanks.
PSS. If you need any other specs please let me know i'm out of work for 6-8 weeks so I can answer pretty fast, also I'm not real tech savvy, so please be detailed on how to do something, haha.

Update:: I forgot to mention, this is a fresh install of windows 7 ultimate and I did all the updates. As well as my linksys e1000 has the latest firmware update.

Another Update: I am on 64 bit win 7.

This problem is fixed, the PSU is bad. I lowered my resolution, and have not had one disconnect yet. I am able to full screen everything in HD, the second I went back to my normal high resolution it crashed again, so until my upgraded parts get here, i'm going old school. :)
