Ethernet disconnecting ramdomly?

[Sebbe218]

So I've had my computer for more than a year now and I built it myself.. During this time I've stood up with my ethernet dropping/disconnecting ramdomly while playing games making my gaming experience quite poor and I just cant think of anything I haven't done to try improving it! I tried connecting a new ethernet cable from my router, which didn't work, tried running an internet diagnostic and nothing showed up as bad, tried swithing ports and still the same result... 

While playing games the internet either drops to unplayable speeds or it disconnects fully (and this happens like every hour or so). While browsing the internet the problem shows by a warning triangle or a red cross down in the right hand corner of the computer screen (where the connection is shown). 

 

I honestly have no idea of why this is occuring so pls HeLPP

Do you have anouther nic you can try?

 

Does it happen on other systems on the network?

#1 No I don't have another nic, I'd have to buy one, which I have looked into doing.. 

 

#2 No that's the weird part, it only happens to my computer!

can still be a wonky driver install. download the driver before you go into device manager and find the adapter and uninstall it from there.
