My internet quality drops every 5 seconds - 3 minutes for 1 to 5 seconds while playing games.

* Original title: quality Internet stutters?

The problem:

My internet quality drops all the 5 seconds - 3 minutes for 1 to 5 seconds and I have no idea if this is my system, my router, my card or my internet provider. It is to play games almost impossible.

You can see dips in connection on the chart on the attached photo.

Complete test results: http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3591022597

Info:

My current provider is Xfininty (Comcast Cable) and we have a bunch of 25Mbps (it's what I think it is.).

My current router is the "double AC1900 - router Linksys band SMART Wi - Fi" and the card to go with it is the Linksys AC1200-free wire-USB AC adapter ("Linkysys WUSB6300" in the Device Manager) and "Rocketfish USB 3.0 PCI Express Card" for the adapter to be used for my computer. I need the adapter so I can access the two Wi - Fi signals, the router clears.

|-------------------------------------|

My System Specs are as follows:

Processor: Intel (r) Core S 860 @ 2.53 GHz 2.53 GHz

Installed memory (RAM): 8.00 GB

System type: 64-bit Operating System

Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GT440

|-----------------------------------------------|

Other info:

I used to have an old router a NetGear, and there was the same problem, but with a slow connection constantly. We have since then replaced by the current one and that did not help, wait for the best connection. I found a new router would fix it, but it didn't. This is why I think it's my system or my internet provider.

My router is in the basement and I am on the 2nd floor of my house, but that has not affected all the world, so I don't think it affected me. Other dips in the connection, the quality was great and constant.

What I tried:

I contacted Xfinity and chatted with an agent and described the problem I did here, and they said that nothing was wrong, on their side, as they watched it. A friend suggested may have my system. In this case, I made sure everything is up to date, and I believe that it is.

All the cables that are used for the router are correctly connected.

Reasons:

-Why I think this is my System: offset varies in different games. For some games, my ping will increase and it will be a "big shift" and the shift happens from time to time, rarely, while for the other games it will lag very frequently, it will be a "small shift", while there will be no change in the ping.

-Why I think it's my internet provider: even if I got a new router and adapter, there are always these tips little lag as it did before.

----------

For me, it's quite confusing, because there are reasons pointing in all sorts of directions and I don't have no idea what direction to go. I tried as much as I can, although apparently not liked very much.

Thanks for reading and thanks for helping if you do.

Hello

Thanks for the reply. I was talking about the pre-installed games that I was online with like Team Fortress 2 and League of Legends. But due to another question earlier about another problem, I deleted Norton Security Suite and who seemed to have it fixed. I just hope that is not temporary.

If you update on this, I'll post it here.

Thanks for the help.

  • Screen goes black for a few seconds while playing games

    I come here who need help, I was this problem for some time and were not able to find the solution on my own.

    The question:

    Sometimes when I play games my screen will go black at a random time for a period of time (sometimes only a term of 5 to 10 seconds, other times up to a minute) and then gets himself and I am able to continue to play. The sound continues to play during the blackout, but I have no control of my computer. Nothing does not and cannot use commands such as ctrl + alt + delete. Sometimes, when my computer is recovering from the black screen, I hear the fans on my GPU boost up to about 80%. I put in MSI afterburner to increase my fan speed as the temperature of my card. Sometimes during recovery from a black screen, my fans will increase from 25% to 80%. Then, there is 80% for the rest of the time until I reset my computer. Once my computer is reset, my card will be 25% more.

    Contextual and computer information:

    This question is not started past until I installed and new graphics card and reinstalled windows 7. The GPU has been tested before I reinstalled windows 7 and everything is perfect. no power outages. I reinstalled windows 7 because I had an SSD.

    Here are my features right now:

    PROCESSOR FX-8350
    Card MOTHER Asrock 970 Extreme3
    RAM (2) 4 GB DDR3 1600 and (2) 8 gb DDR3 1866
    SSD 120 gb w / windows 7 installed top
    GPU Radeon r9 290 (upgrade a radeon 6950 which took perfect)
    Corsair power 800w

    a few last things to add that can be useful:

    -I did not black when using my computer and do not play games screens.
    -J' usually have low games such as the League of legends. who are not too intensive on the gpu
    -When I insert in the UEFI, my RAM displays all the sticks clocked at 1600 MHz. Even if 2 of my poles are 1866.
    -My gpu never went more than 74 degrees since ive installed, so I don't think its an overheating problem.

    If you need more information, let me know and ill be happy to provide it. Any help will be MUCH appreciated. I get crazy at this time because I can't figure this thing out lol

    Thank you - Nick

    Thanks for the help! I actually just figured it on mine.

    Here's what the matter was.

    Afterburner in fact has not been increasing fan speed, I had put in place as the time grew. Tried running my r9 290 to 60% of the speed of the fan. Never had a black screen again. I'm glad that I can play games now. Only thing that sucks is my r9 290 is a powercolor card that uses a unique suction fan and blows air on the side. THE THING IS EXTREMELY NOISY at 60% lol but I managed to get the r9 290 for only $200, so I can't complain.

  • Windows 7-3 beeps every 30 seconds while logged in (not around the screen of the Bios, not connecting)

    After that I connect to Windows 7, I hear 3 rapid beeps every 30 seconds. It does not go far, i.e. it is not a time of presence and repeat indefinitely. I ran Diagnostics through bios and see anything there (no hardware problems). If you cut the speakers it disappears is not an internal part, like the motherboard. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Mark,

    I appreciate the efforts to try to solve the problem. Please write us with the following details.

    What is the brand and model of your computer?

    As you mentioned that you do not receive this sound, after turning off the speakers, it seems to be a problem caused by any process running in the background. I suggest you to open Task Manager and check the process running in the background. If you find any suspicious process just try to put an end to this process.

    You can also try to check the cause to the clean boot.  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  • playing video lessons stalls every 10 seconds, then play again, cycling in and out

    I can't get my school video cooking class to play along without stalling.  I'll have a minute in a lesson, stall; Then he played again for a short period.  Just frustrating.

    Videos play at a certain data rate.  If the rate they're playing faster is the rate you receive the data on your internet connection and then the video will pick up until a buffer fills to a certain extent - date at which he will resume.  If the buffer empties faster that it fills up the Internet, it will pick up again.  If you look at this in Windows Media Player, see the Options menu for a performance parameter, and make sure that your internet connection speed indicated it is not faster than your actual speed.  The only other alternative is to get a faster internet connection.

  • Internet connection drops every 30 minutes

    I'm chasing a frustrating problem on one of our HP laptops.

    The laptop loses its internet connection after 30 to 60 minutes, and the only way to get it back is to restart the PC.

    The PC is a dv6 Pavilion with Intel Core i5 processor chip.

    Operating system is Win7 Home Premium SP1

    Network adapters that I show are:

    Intel WiFi Link 1000 BGN

    Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter

    Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter #2

    Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller

    Antivirus is MS Security Essentials

    Router is a Cisco/Linksys E1500

    The modem is Actiontec M1000

    Is DSL through Qwest

    The error message we get when internet stop working, said something about "cannot find DNS", I will copy it down the next time it happens.

    The PC only to lose the connection is this.

    Reset the modem and the router not to find an internet connection.

    The problem occurs if the PC is connected via a cable or wireless

    When the PC loses the internet connection I can still see and ping it to other PC, and you can still see the other PC.

    Here's what we've done so far without success:

    Run the Network Diagnostics can not find the question

    Router and modem reset

    Reset TCP/IP and restarted (netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt)

    Off the hidden network adapters:

    6to4 MS card

    Map of ISATAP MS 1-4

    Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface

    (all these returned when we restarted)

    Change DNS servers on the local network, Wi - Fi and on different servers

    Change the DNS from the router to the same servers 2 servers

    Restored the PC on 2 previous restore points

    Update Intel WiFi driver

    Don't scan last Antimalwarebytes - no problems found

  • HP 15-g020ca: Internet connection drops frequently

    Hi all!

    4 months I suffer from this problem.

    My internet connection drops every 15 minutes and takes about 2-3 minutes to reconnect.

    In the meantime the wifi connection still works and strong (5 bars).

    I tried all methods to resolve this problem, dns flush, back, ip address, update driver... I have even to connect my laptop to a dongle wireless usb to see if it's a hardware problem, but same result. I tried to connect to another wifi network but also the problem remains.

    Strangely when I connect my computer to my phone internet of the data over wifi it works perfectly.

    My phone, iPad are connected to the wifi in my house without any problem.

    Any idea? Thank you very much in advance for your help.

  • Connection Internet drops several times every 5 to 15 minutes

    Connection Internet drops several times every 5 to 15 minutes.  It is an old ASUS week ultrabook computer that is running Windows 7 Home Premiuim.  The problem is not the network as 4 other wireless computers work properly. Also, same problem is observed on the other two networks.  Only change in the computer as he received is the addition of Kapersky anti-virus and Microsoft Office 2003.  Problem seems to be with Windows 7.  The yellow triangle of death appears on connection bars when the problem occurs.  Disconnect and reconnect the Internet solves the problem for another 5 to 15 minutes.

    It seems to me that it is a possible driver with the card built into your new laptop wireless. You can consider using Device Manager to check to see if there are problems reported with the wireless adapter. Also, I suggest that you visit the manufacturer of the laptop and get the latest available wireless drivers for that brand and model.

    You could also have a hunt in the event log and see if there is any additional details that might shed some light as to why the wireless network has decreased. That his fall is one thing, but the log events might suggest a few reasons for this.

  • HP G6 1b60US - Ralink wireless drops every 30 to 60 seconds. Ethernet is fine.

    HP G6 1b60US - Ralink wireless drops every 30 to 60 seconds.  Ethernet is fine. I tried a USB WiFi and it works perfectly.

    That's how I test: run CMD, ping google.com t

    With this race in the background is very easy to see the question.

    I tried earlier versions of the Ralink drivers, nothing solves the problem.  What is interesting, it is same when I'm on WiFi from UBS, if the Ralink is not disabled, there will always be the question.  (Although I am CERTAINLY connected via USB wifi.

    It's a real pain, since I use Remote Desktop a lot, and whenever that happens, my connection to the DRC crashes.

    Problem solved!

    My old Linksys WRT54GL router has been arrived in mixed mode (B/G).  All I did to fix this was set to G only.

    So if anyone runs into this problem, be sure to try this change.

  • Dynadock U3 - Ethernet does not - send/receive flashing every 3 seconds

    My wife uses a Dynadock with a spectrum of XP.
    Ethernet worked fine when I first put in place, but I just noticed the wired connection does not work (only works with wireless).

    Send & receive lights on n/w Dynadock port flash every ~ 3 seconds, the Windows port & alternate state between Enabled & cable disconnected.

    Not sure how long the wired connection has not worked, but my scale did spend a couple of months to Win 8.1. At the time I had upgrade the drivers to get the video via the Dynabook work. I checked & Win network drivers have been also upgraded in this framework.

    Have seen a few other posts on uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers (done) & case where the icon network in the device driver has a warning '?' (says "device is working properly" in my case).

    Recommendations, or suggestions for a further diagnosis?

    Hello
    In my view, the question appears due to the update system 8.1 Win.
    You will need configure the network in the network adapter properties:
    To connect to the network via an Ethernet network cable, connect one end of a network
    cable to the Ethernet (RJ-45) the dynadock port and the other end to your network for the great
    performance of network access.

    To set the properties of the network to the Ethernet adapter:
    8.1 Windows, move the mouse pointer and click the icon at the bottom left of the screen to go to the
    Apps for display and then click on Control Panel-> network and Internet-> tasks-> change map settings and display the status of network.

    In the network connections folder, double-click the icon of the s dynadock Ethernet adapter connection.
    which is indicated by dynadock Ethernet. This will open the local area network connection properties window for you
    Configure network settings as required depending on your network environment.

    Note: The icon to connect to the Local network in the system tray/Notification area does not show a connection. Open network connections to display the Ethernet connection.

  • system crashes every 2 seconds

    Hello people!

    I have a laptop G62 with the 64 bit version of windows 7, I have almost 4 years

    About 3 days ago, I ran a few youtube videos, the system started to freeze (video + sound) every 2 seconds!

    I turned it off and went to bed, the next morning, I turned it, went to the home page! and he showed me the desktop but nothing opens, not applications without the browser, when I opened the Task Manager, it showed the programs that I clicked with a * 32 at the end!

    in about 5 min later explorer.exe crashes and I had to stop it.

    what I tried:

    memory test: test the HARD disc, freezes in almost 50%

    factory reset: the partition is not found

    Scan of the system with antivirus: freezes in the Middle!

    software to clean registry

    logged in to windows, normal start, after 6-8 minutes it starts to freez every 2 seconds, and every two seconds, I hear a noise in the HARD disk like crack! and it happens every 2 seconds

    my activities:
    performance of Flight simulator X
    turn 3d flash games
    movies and videos youtube

    system:

    Intel Core i3 2.40 GHZ (4CPUs)
    Home Edition of Windows 7 64 bit

    Note: I have been using safe mode with network for over 2 weeks now, is not freez in this mode!
    I do not have the CD repaired

    Sounds like the hard drive is failing fast and will need to be replaced. If you are still in warranty HP will send a replacement. If this is not the case, a laptop SATA hard detail can be used. Just be sure to get one of at least equal quality of the original in order to use recovery disks to install Windows & programs. It may be big, but not small ability more. For example if you have a 500 GB hard drive you can use a 750 GB hard drive, but not a 320 GB hard drive.
