Solved MY internet connection randomly ceases

[jamkid23]

Despite my wireless adapter still being lit up, my connection to the internet randomly stops after a period of time and only a reboot can bring it back.After a random period of time, internet access to my computer ceases and only a reboot can bring it back; it states "limited access" and I have no connection. All my drivers are fully updated and I have already tried flushing DNS. If I try to restart or shut down using the start menu when this happens, a BSOD occurs stating driver power state failure. When I used driver verifier, it says A device driver attempting to corrupt the system has been caught and creates a BSOD. After the internet cuts off, I can no longer access network and sharing center (attempting causes explorer.exe to stop working). Bluescreen view states that ntoskrnl.exe are the cause of the power state failures. No problem arises when I use safe mode with networking. My computer specs are:
OS:Windows 7 Home Premium
AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 255 Processor 3.10 Ghz
Ram:4 GB
System Type:64-BIt Operating System
Graphics Driver:Nvidia Geforce 210
Audio:Nvidia High definition Audio

My Wireless Adapter:Belkin F5D8053 N Wireless USB Adapter #9.

I have no spare wireless adapters. I have not tried and cannot easily try a direct hookup from my router to my PC. I have already tried moving my adapter to a different port.
This problem has been occurring for months and I have no restore point. Edit: Bluescreen view states 053015-19047-01.dmp

No more BSOD when I shutdown. However, I still have internet problems.

 

[jamkid23]

I'm going to attempt a restart to fix the problem, I don't have the installation disk so is there anything I should know before I attempt?

 

[mikeybinec]

are you using a router? They do go bad. On the average, with 24 hour operation, they last about three years. When you say that you have lost internet connection, can you go into DOS and try pinging google or yahoo?

 

[jamkid23]

I am using a router and the problem isn't apparent on any on my other devices. After it happens, ping 8.8.8.8 will not work; the problem hasn't shown up in safe mode however.

 

[GokAy]

How about if you ping the router?
copy/paste "ipconfig -all" results from cmd

 

[mikeybinec]

As stated above, gather your information from the DOS command ipconfig (no need for the /all switch) get your default gateway ip address and ping that puppy i.e. if you have a Linksys router, the default ip address for the default gateway ( a big word for your router) is 192.168.1.1

Here's the four things you should do in order

A) ping 127.0.0.1 this tests to make sure your IP/TCP stack is installed (network software)

B) ping your network interface card's IP address (gather this info with the ipconfig command)

C) Ping your default gateway (i.e. 192.168.1.1) This will tell you if you can ping your router

D) Now ping yahoo.com or google.com

You have stated that your other devices work good, so a bad router is definitely not the issue. (flakey routers have did me in a couple of times--it happens)

Also, when you ping google.com or whomever copy and paste the results in your reply

And for jokes do a tracert google.com

c:\tracert google.com

PInging 127 worked, but pinging anything else did not.

Well, your copy and paste is unreadable, (disable word wrap) but when you said that the TCP/IP stack was OK , but nothing else, then I have to pronounce your NIC dead.. You might want to uninstall it and try reinstalling it again. But to make sure, go to DOS again, type in ipconfig (don't do the ipconfig /all) and hit enter. Make sure you are pinging your NIC (network interface card) IP address, then ping the router aka default gateway

[GokAy]

I don't see any ping to 192.168.1.105 (NIC IP) and 192.168.1.1(gateway). Just loopback and google.

Please include
ping 192.168.1.105
ping 192.168.1.1

as well in your next post.

I wonder if firewall is denying access. Would you uninstall firewall/disable Windows Firewall? Hmm, you shouldn't have access with static IP as well if that was the case.

I updated my ping results. It don't think it would make sense for my firewall to block pinging only after a random period of time.

Can you check power options in Control Panel? Change plan settings-change advanced power settings

Set Wireless Adapter Settings - power saving mode: Maximum Performance

 

[jamkid23]

I'm already running at maximum performance, but I did notice a setting that said "this device can be turned off to save power." I unchecked it bu I doubt it was the cause. I'll try reinstalling my driver again later.

 

[GokAy]

I guess you need that one to go into sleep mode(?). Don't forget to change it back if it won't help.

Well, you are able to ping your nic so that's good, You can't ping your default gateway. Go into your router's management (open up a browser and put in the address 192.168.1.1, and hit enter) and look around for your host. For example, in a linksys, you would go into the LAN, and see if your IP address is there AND the mac address is in there. That's when you use the ipconfig /all to get your media access control address. Maybe by some freak nature, an access list rule was enabled to block your host computer from accessing the default router. BUT, since routers are dhcp servers, at one point in time, your router leased an IP address to your host computer. Also, as you t-shoot this issue, frequently look in your device manager and watch the status of your nic. See if it's flapping on you.. (a term that means going up and then going down)

Okay, what username and password does that address require? Is it my network password?
