world and MS are over 400... never ever happens to me... the only thing I did was a minor OC to my CPU and bought a new printer and installed HP software and put a little space heater in my room. only recent changes.

was able to DL a game off steam no problem and web browse as normal. just World of Warcraft is giving me a hard time. here is my speedtest while WoW is open and battle.net

HP software for printers can be a huge resource hog - I would suspect that first.  Nothing else you mentioned sounds likely to cause huge lag spikes unless it's just a coincidence and your internet connection is just laggy for some reason beyond your control.

In windowsvista/7, open command prompt with administrator's rights and enter netsh interface tcp set global congestionprovider=ctcp this increases the TCP window, to set it back to default enter netsh interface tcp set global congestionprovider=none 

 

If you are using windows 8/8.1/10, open windows powershell with administrator's rights and enter Set-NetTCPSetting -SettingName InternetCustom -CongestionProvider CTCP it does the same thing as in the windows7 way just that windows powershell is prefered.

i tried what he said to do and comand prompt in Win 10 said access denied. i dont know how else to explain it....

Guy i said in my first reply to your issue that if you are using windows 7 to use the command prompt with administrator's rights and if you are using windows 8/8.1/10 to use Powershell with administrator's right and not command prompt.

 

To find PowerShell just type Windows PowerShell in windows search.

Thanks for clearing thsi up for me.....the way you opened WindowsPowerShell is without administrator's rights, the way to open PowerShell with administrator's rights is to right click on the Windows PowerShell ap then select Run as Administrator then when PowerShell opens you enter the command and hit the enter key, this is the same method for opening command prompt with administrator's rights, so try it the proper way and report back.

 

Now if you can't run PowerShell with administrator's rights then your account just doesn't have the privileges to do so.

Yeah I tried to run as administrator. Have a new problem now... Black screen of death. Did some restarts, saw ROG logo and Windows starting then black screen... now I'm fucked. Shut if.off for a half hour and gonna plug everything back in now. Posting from my phone now. Someone said it might be Windows 10. It crashed last week and nothing but problems since. Wish I can reverse back to 7. Never had a problem!!!

Nope. Mother board broke. The lock piece that holds top graphics card snapped off... it's done. Few USB ports were fried to begin with... Windows 10 would not start up no matter what I did with tech support on the phone... dug up Windows 7 disk and wiped a hard drive and put on fresh install. Lost everything on that SSD and have to slave drive old c drive to save the pictures on it... Fuck ROG mother boards. Getting a regular z97 tomorrow since I lost the ROG mother boards disk and half the software from asus site would not down load. One of three SSD s weren't even detected. Thanks for the help though. I wish it broke two weeks ago during black Friday... fml.

If the new board does not work I'm getting a PlayStation and calling it the day. If my case moves lightly the top card will slide out and I don't want to risk damage to my card by static or a short
