Browsing navigation unstable - wired or wifi
Hi guys!
I don't usually ask for help, but I'm giving up on this issue, as I have absolutely no idea why it's happening.
SPECS
- Mobo: MSI 880GMA-E35 (driver Realtek Ethernet updated from MSI site)
- Router: Linksys E1500 (firmware updated to 1.0.0.6)
- Smartphone: LG Nexus 5 (Android 6.0.1)
- OS: Windows 7 Ultimate (updated through Windows Update)
- Anti-virus: Microsoft Security Essentials (updated)
ISSUE
It's simple. I turn on the PC and begin browsing through my favorite blogs and sites. After some time (it may be hours or minutes), all the pages in my browser (Chrome, Firefox, IE, doesn't matter) fail to load, and I get "ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE" and "ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED" (in Chrome). When this kicks in, I can't even access my router (192.168.1.1), it fails to load also.
Although I can't load any site, uTorrent keeps working normally, and I can ping sites just fine through command prompt. This doesn't affect the wifi, I can keep browsing as much as I want in my phone or tablet.
I wait a couple of minutes and it solves by itself, the pages reload just fine, and I keep browsing... until it happens again, and so on. I know the first thing that comes to mind is DNS, so I altered the DNS to Google's solution, but it keeps happening. CMD ipconfig commands don't help either, registerdns / flushdns / renew
All I can do is wait, or reboot the PC.
I have a Linksys AE2500 wifi antenna here and after using the PC connected to the wifi, the issue persists, but only in the PC. In my smartphone the wifi works flawlessly.
I guess the problem is in Windows, but I have no clue where to look.
I hope some expert here can help me solve this infernal issue.
Thanks in advance.
