Random Drops

You have plenty of RAM so that is not the issue, it is what is hogging it that we need to know.

Something is using up an awful lot of RAM, open Task Manager and check what is hogging all of your memory, if by chance it is Chrome uninstall then reinstall it and check Task Manager again to see if the memory usage has come right down, if not Chrome let us know what is shown to be using so much memory.

We had no way of knowing that Chrome had already been uninstalled and reinstalled, the suggestion was made to see if there was a possible memory leak, so with Chrome apparently ruled out what was shown to be hogging all of the RAM, please note that it is important that you do not have any games etc running when you check.

Open Task Manager, click on the Memory Tab, grab a screenshot and attach it to your next reply for us if you will.

But it looks to be when the DC’s happen its when my disc usage gets high. it spikes up, DC’s me and then goes back down

If possible, try plugging in an Ethernet cable and turn off the Wi-Fi to see if the issue persists.

Best course of action atm.

Wireless can be rather hit and miss with connectivity for gaming and that is why many gamers will only use an Ethernet connection, less chance of any interference from other devices and folk piggybacking on your connection.

You have high memory usage both when the computer is idle and even more so with just Google open, the notebook that I am using to post only has 2GB of RAM but if you check the attached screenshot and compare it to yours you will see that more of your 8GB of RAM is being used when both computers only have a single Google tab open.
