Good afternoon,
I'm hoping to get some help with my machine as i've had a few problems since completely rebuilding my computer a couple months ago.
Problem 1: My internet connection is very unstable. It has a hard time loading multiple pages at once. Furthermore, the connection will drop out for a few seconds but then recover on its own and go back to regular speeds. I don't have any trouble streaming video, that is, once the video starts to stream its able to keep up with the buffer. I originally wondered if it had to do with my router/port and or ISP connection, so i tried plugging a laptop into the same connection. It had no problems, so i know it has to do with my computer somewhere. i was plugged into the network port on my motherboard (asus ma478-E), so i figured that it could just be a faulty network port so i installed a new network card. This didn't seem to fix the problem either. I read somewhere else that the anti-virus (AVG) could be interfering. I uninstalled that and am now running symantec. Still the same problem.
Problem 2: I have a lexmark printer/scanner that installs properly. its connected through a USB connection. After installation, i tried to print and am getting an error "computer cannot communicate with printer" try x,y,z. I've tried doing all the suggestions and this doesn't seem to help fix the problem.
Problem 3: I have a microphone. When i plug it in, i get sounds but it has a 0.5 second delay and the sound is low and distorted. also, there is a buzz in the background. I've tinkered with the settings but i can't anything to adjust this sort of thing.
Problem 4: I have 2 dvd drives and neither of them are showing up in explorer. They were working at one point and i don't know why they aren't working now. i've tried uninstalling the drivers and rebooting the computer several times. the computer recognizes them as being there, but they fail to install properly.
I think those are my problems for now. I'm really sick of trying to fix this crap so i'm really hoping somebody can tell me that there are easy fixes to these one or more of these problems.
Thanks in advance.
