Solved Tried everything

[coolsteel]

Hello, my desktop pc keeps dropping its wifi connection on start up, i have to reconnect several times before it works. Also my pc freezes a lot of the time after start up. Sometimes its fine after i reboot it and i can use my pc as normal after that. I have done a clean sweep and reinstalled windows to no avail. My wife wants a new computer but im sure it can be fixed with the right help. Thanks for your time.

Ok the HDD looks to be in good shape. Make sure your graphics driver is up to date.. Also you may have to do some command prompts to check your files for corruption.

I am going to tag another member to help with this..

@Bastet

 

[Bastet]

Have you visited the PC’s/Wi-Fi card manufacturer for any newer WiFi drivers?
Can you remember when this problem started?
Is this an internal Wi-Fi card or a USB dongle?

Right click on start & choose powershell with admin & enter:
SFC /SCANNOW
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

 

[coolsteel]

No i haven't updated the WIFI card from manufacturer, to be honest i don't know where to get this info from the problem has been around for at least a year.
Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.

will try and take off side panel for PSU make and model

 

[coolsteel]

 

[coolsteel]

the inside was quite dusty so i gave it a clean. Restarted the pc and although i had to reconnect the pc to wifi the pc has not froze as yet

 

[Rustys]

Lets see if that may have corrected it other wise we can defently look at other ideas.

Other things to look at if so is the distance for the computer and sourse plus what it has to travel through. Even other WiFi signal that may be operating on the same channel that might over poswer yours.

USB WiFi adapter are natorious for weak signals since the power supplied through a USB post is low.

 

[coolsteel]

after cleaning the dust out of the inside it seems all is now well, if this changes i will re post. Thanks for your help Rustys

 

[Bruce]

well, a surprising fix, but it'll do!
PM any staff member if you want this thread re-opened.
