lost internet

[john_c_richards]

New boy on the block.

I am in desperation trying to find a cure for the problem I have on a New PC.

Bought 5 months ago it has not been right from the start. The supplier has been helpful but only in a limited way. Their conclusion software conflict, did not happen on old pc with same programs.

The major problem is the continual loss of connection of the internet whilst using programs.

Standalone programs work on pc fine. Any program or link (eg Facebook) that has internet connection fails intermittently. I then have to reboot but the PC will not shut down via screen, it hangs, and I have to force it to close with hard power off. Reboot returns to status quo. OK.

The suppler has had the pc back and “run tests” but failed to find any errors.

They claim its either my router / broadband or a software conflict.

Why is it that my old pc when connected has none of these faults. Connected to the router are also tv’s phones, tablets and Xbox all working without fail.

Having had this ongoing problem for so long I am now at the end of my tether. My cure =loose £700 on PC go to another supplier and purchase a new one.

My diagnosis is the on board lan or motherboard is faulty.

Help please for an old man (75)

Hello

Please give us your complete laptop spec’s. Do you get any notices when the internet fails to connect with your laptop? If so what did the notice say.

As well as your system specs, have you contacted your isp and asked about the issue? Also reboot your modem and or router.

Is there another computer in your home that has the same issues?

This has been happening for weeks, so as you can imagine all obvious cures have been tried.

The windows report states that the "Ethernet cable is disconnected or faulty, Yet it connects my old pc with no problem and on using a wireless dongle get the same answer!!!

ISP has checked connection from their side,all 100% OK (PLUSNET)

Sorry to but in…
Did you just connect that system to the network or did some one configure the system for the network?

[john_c_richards]

I just bought it online / phone ( At this stage I do not want to name and shame)

After a week it went back for an upgrade as it was not up to my requirements. It then had a power supply error which they supplied and I HAD TO FIT !.
They configured (on line) it to my needs or as far as I understand they did.

Is Chrome set as the default browser.

Windows is well out of date, you are still running 1903 when it should be 1909, you are wasting your time troubleshooting a Windows computer that is out of date, one of the missing updates could have been released to address the issue that a user may be having.

Couple of things of note in Speccy but not seeing anything glaring that would 100% explain a poor internet connection, will address each as they are list in Speccy.

Power Profile
[COLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)]Active power scheme: High performance

Change the Windows Power Plan to Balanced, High Performance is a form of overclocking that is known to cause stability and overheating issues and a weak PSU such as the one that you have will get hotter and weaker the more that you use it.

Anything to do with IObit should be avoided like the plague, you will not see anything like this recommended on any reputable forum, they are at best a gimmick and at worse a danger to the operating systems registry, it is an old article but the author is still highly respected and tbh Ive not seen it explained better than at the miekiemoes’ Blog here

[COLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)]Stopped: Malwarebytes Service

MBAM is very highly thought of but has had its fair share of problems/complaints, see IMPORTANT: Web blocking / RAM usage announcement info here

[COLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)]Network
You are connected to the internet
Connected through: Realtek PCIe GbE Family Controller
Adapter Type: Ethernet

TP-Link Wireless USB Adapter

You should not have a wireless device in the computer when you are using the LAN port.[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR]
