Slow internet speeds/downloads
Hey,
First post here, i have been using forums quite a bit just browsing though to help my self with any problems i come across, but i have come to a dead end.
I have been running Windows 7 Home Premium since the 18th December first installation there was no problems every thing went fine.
Then last week i had to reinstall WoW as i was getting alot of BSOD "Memory Management" errors which i linked to the game as it was the only time i got it as has a couple of my friends.
When i came to reinstall WoW it wouldnt let me, kept arising with "installer has stopped working" every time, so i decided to format and start again wish a fresh install, seens as i didnt have much on pc to loose.
With he installation problem now fixed, i cannot get my internet to work, I have a Realtek RTL8168C(P)/8111C(P) ethernet adapter, it has the most recent driver (which i used on the first installation of windows).
Yet when i first load up the pc it works with the full 10mb (Virgin Media) connection i have, after about 5 mins of being online i notice a massive reduction in performance and run an isp speed test and this confirmed i was only running at 1.98mb connection....
I have tryed several of the ideas that are around disable IPv6 etc to no avail.
I have also ran the pc in safe mode with networking and i get the same results, 5 mins of full connection then a drop in line speed.
Does any one have any ideas as to what could be the cause of this?
Thanks in Advance
Ed
