    Slow internet issue


    Where to start... First of all I'm sorry to start a new thread about a similar issue beeing discuss at the moment but I did not want to troll the thread.

    2 days ago I started having computer shutdowns that I solved by cleaning my heatsink(it was full of dust and cpu was overheating...no shutdowns since then). After that I started gradually to experience slow internet issues browsing the web. My downloads are still fast which is pretty weird. I did some speedtest and the results were: Ping 1956ms, Dl 229mb(yea... ) and Upl 2mb.

    I tried updating the Lan drivers on my motherboard but the installer fails everytime saying that my OS is not compatible with my motherboard(Ive been using win7 64bit since more than a year with that motherboard).

    Any help would be really appreciated.

    Motherboard : Asus Rampage Forumla x48 LGA775
    OS : Win7 Ultimate 64bit
    Internet : Cable(directly through the modem and tried couple of wires) / My ISP told me the signal was perfect

    I'm thinking it might be a virus or something but I have an antivirus + firewall.

    What's wrong

    Run the cmd window as an administrator. Then from the cmd window type the following one at a time hitting Enter after each one.

    ipconfig /flushdns
    ipconfig /release
    ipconfig /renew
    exit

    Then reboot and see what happens.

I have a custom built desktop where my WIFI connection will deteriorate to the point where internet (and gaming over Steam, etc...) will be either painfully slow or unable to load pages at all.

Ok this has been happening for a few weeks now with the connection either being slow or just displaying a yellow triangle saying limited access and no internet access. Getting pretty desperate and running out of ideas now so need to ask here. Basically we switched ISPs after about a month of no...
So yeah, I've these problems for the past couple days. My browsers (Opera and Firefox) used to load pages quickly, but now they're painfully slow. Opera lags and freezes often; Firefox doesn't, but it still takes a very long time to load pages. I'm also getting these occasional "invisible ads,"...
