I suspect Kloaked just means resetting the settings on the bios by either using a jumper per the motherboard instructions, or disconnecting the power cable and removing the 3v button-battery on your board for 10 or 15 seconds.
 
If you don't see any change after resetting your BIOS, I would definitely try to test your RAM further. You said you had run memtest. How long did you run memtest for? Did you run it in windows or on a boot disk?
 
Have you tried removing all but one ram stick in the DIMM_A2 socket? (DIMM_A2 is the Closest light-brown slot to your CPU and is the slot recommended by the mobo manual for single-stick configs.) This will force your comptuer to use the memory in single channel mode and it can single out a bad stick. (If you still have issues with a single stick of ram in, try swapping that single stick, as, if even 1 of the sticks is bad, you have at least 25% chance of picking it right off the bat.)
 
Also, what speed is the ram at? 1066Mhz, 1333Mhz, 1600Mhz, 1866Mhz, 2133Mhz, etc... Is it running at it's rated speed? Is it under/over-clocked?
 
The issue is definitely weird.

Thanks for all of your help it's working now.

The monitor I was using didnet work, i feel kinda dumb all the problem was is that the cpu wasent seated right, but it works now, thank you so much for your help tho

If the issues just started in the past day or two, it's definitely the first place to start looking.
 
Presuming everyone else who uses the internet is ok with it, you could (depending on your internet connection) connect your computer directly into your modem and see if you still have high latency. If you still have the latency spikes, then the issue is either with the computer we're testing with, or with the ISP. If there are no longer any latency spikes, then you know the issue is being caused by one of the other devices hooked up to the internet.
 
Also, do you know what type of internet you have? DSL over the phone lines, Cable over the Coax Cable connection, WiMax Point to Point Wireless, Fiber? Particularly with DSL, absolute minimum latency will typically start in the 20-60ms range.

"When I first read this I thought this was going to be windows 10 auto updates." What we mean is, the windows 10 update is being downloaded by tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of computers today because microsoft just make the update available. If 1 computer on your network is downloading the windows 10 update, it could be consuming all of your bandwidth.
 
If your modem is from 2006, there's a reasonable chance it's about toast now. I've seen DSL modems that have been in service for 10+ years, but I typically start seeing major failures around the 4-8 year markers.
 
"I wish I could. Appearantly the modem is in my neighbours house. I could bring in a laptop and try though."
THIS could EASILY be the problem. You said that your computer is wired into an Asus router. Is there a cable between the two buildings that connects the Asus to the neighbors router or is it wireless between the two buildings?
 
If it's wireless between the  two buildings, then that's what we should focus our attention on first.

Ok, so the most likely scenario is this. 
 
1st House:
DSL Modem > Primary Router > Long-Ass Ethernet Cable Running to 2nd House
 
2nd House:
Long-Ass Ethernet Cable From 1st House > Asus Router > Your Computer
 
I presume the ping test your running is from the command prompt. Run the following command in the command prompt
tracert google.com When you do this, it will say "Tracing route to Google.com over a maximum of 30 hops" then, on the left side, it will count up from the number 1. What it is doing is listing all of the routing equipment between your computer and google.com. (DO NOT POST THE RESULTS ON THE FORUM, depending on the internet connection, it *could* give away your external IP and single you out to be targeted by any unsavory users of this forum. Unlikely, but feasible.)
 
Here's an example:
Tracing route to google.com over a maximum of 30 hops 1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms 192.168.1.1 [Whatever is listed here will be the Asus router IP] 2 10 ms 10 ms 10 ms 192.168.2.1 [Whatever is listed here will likely be the IP of the router in the 1st house] 3 73 ms 79 ms 93 ms [bla bla bla] 4 73 ms 79 ms 93 ms [bla bla bla] 5 73 ms 79 ms 93 ms [bla bla bla] 6 73 ms 79 ms 93 ms [bla bla bla] 7 73 ms 79 ms 93 ms google.com 173.194.33.70 Trace complete. Now, to the right of #1, it SHOULD show your Asus router, then, to the right of # 2, it should show the router in the 1st house because it's the next "hop" or the next "link in the chain".
 
The IPs of the routers will look something like the listings below:
192.168.*.*
10.*.*.*
172.16.*.* - 172.31.0.0
 
After you have the IP address of the router in the main house, try pinging it constantly:
ping [1st house router ip here] -t And ping your router:
ping [Asus router IP here] -t If you see the latency spikes when pinging the router in the 1st house, then we know the issue is a communication problem between the two houses. If you don't see any latency spikes, then we know the problem is either the internet being bottlenecked, or further issues with your ISP.

Alternatively, you could download this program called WinMTR. It runs the tracert test over and over and over and over and records the ping times to each piece of routing equipment. Again, DO NOT POST THESE RESULTS PUBLICLY IN THE FORUM. Depending on your internet connection, it could potentially give away your external or internet IP address.

Here's a short video explaining the basics of how to read MTR results, however it is showing a linux based MTR program as opposed to WinMTR. It's basically the same, except one's in a command line, and the other isn't: 

When you ping out to to the web, do the ping spikes still occur in the same manor that they occur when pinging your gateway? If they don't then the ping spikes shown are simply the router failing to respond to the pings right away because it's "busy doing other things."
 
One thing you could test would be disabling all network adapters except for your wifi adapter, and thing running, ping localhost -t, or ping 127.0.0.1 -t, or ping 192.168.2.* -t (Whatever the local IP of the computer on the wifi network adapter is.) which would ping the computer itself through the network adapter (I'm pretty sure.). If you still got the lag spikes there, then it could be the wireless adapter driver causing some kind of overhead issue.
 
Another thing to test would be changing the channel bandwidth on the 5Ghz channel to 20Mhz. Yes, this will limit the speed at which you can connect to the router on the 5Ghz channel, but it's worth trying. Some equipment fails when trying to connect with 40/80Mhz extension channels. (Not sure if you'll have this option on an N600 router as the 5Ghz channel may already be limited to 20Mhz. You'll probably see an option for 20Mhz, or an option for 40Mhz.)
 
Try connecting on the 2.4Ghz frequency just to see if you get the lag spikes on that frequency. If it occurs on the 5Ghz, and not the 2.4, then there could be some hardware incompatibilities, or some hardware failure. Try connecting to a friends wifi, or perhaps your phone hotspot, and see if the lag spikes occur on just your belkin router, or if they occur when connected to other wifi networks.
 
It could be worth going down to a store with a reasonable return policy, like Staples, or Best Buy, where you could buy a wireless receiver, plug it into the computer and see if you have the same issue with another receiver.
 
Do you have any other devices connected to the 5Ghz? If so, see if the ping results are the same for them.
 
I've spent nearly the last 2 years working as over-the-phone technical support for 5-10 ISPs (Taking residential & business customer calls), and if their's two things I've learned, one is that turning something off and on again solves ~20% of all issues and two is that wireless is extremely difficult to troubleshoot properly.

If it detects both ram sticks then it's probably a speed/voltage/timing issue. What probably needs to happen is to underclock your ram while you have 1 stick in, so the system doesn't freeze, and then put both sticks in and see if they work at an underclocked setting.
 
Put one stick of ram in, change the "Load XMP Setting" to manual, and set the speed for the sticks really low, to something like 1066Mhz. Then shut the computer down, put both sticks in, and see if it boots. 
 
11-11-11-28 1.5v @ 1066Mhz should be a base line setting that should work. If it fails with these settings, then it could very well be that the RAM you have is bad.
 
If things work with underclocked memory, it would mean that there's a weak link in either your CPU, Motherboard, or RAM, which is inhibiting you from running the RAM at it's rated speed. It would be very difficult to figure out which.

If it worked on a Windows 10 preview disk, but not on a Windows 8 disk, then it's almost certainly an issue with the Nvidia Drivers on the Windows 8 disk. If you download and attempt to re-install the Nvidia Drivers, there is an option in the installation which you can check which will perform a "Clean Installation" this will wipe any previous drivers and install the new ones.
(Also, it would be worth mentioning that it would be good practice, for removing pre-existing drivers, to uninstall the drivers, use CCLeaner to clear out any left over registry values, reboot, and then install the new drivers with a "Clean Installation.")
 
Also, what driver version does it say you're using? If you go to Nvidia Control Panel, in the lower-left corner of the window, there should be an option for "System Information" If you click that, it will open another window where it will list the driver version. Mine is currently at 353.30.
