Internet keeps shutting down.

[Noto]

Hey guys, not sure if this thread is posted in the right place, if not, sorry about that.
I have a pretty new computer with W7 64 installed, most days it works flawlessly but some days it keeps disconnecting my internet, several times per hour in fact. I get a yellow triangle on my network icon. Righclick and choosing *fix the problem* solves the issue for a few minutes / sometimes hours. I have tried starting all my programs as administrator, not yet tried disabling UAC though, since i kind of like that feature.

I'm on my way to the stores now to perhaps try another networkcard, using the built-in right now.

Not sure what information would be usefull for anyone whom might have an idea how to fix this, i hope i can get some help with this since it's driving me nuts.

There are a huge number of threads on the same subject already, have a browse through the forums or do a search for 'connection' and see how many results flood in...

the yellow triangle means your device has a conflicting I/O and to cure it I would experiment with drivers , what is the exact name and model and driver version for your network card ?

UAC will not be affecting your network connection. << (IT CAN DOH ! )

 

[Noto]

It's the built-in networkcard on my MB, MSI P55-CD53, and from what i can tell in device manager, it's called Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller, the version of drivers are called; 7.10.1117.2009 - and windows states they are the newest ones.

You are right, also saw i posted this in the wrong section, as i suspected
Most of those threads seem to be about wireless and routers though, i'm using none of that. Will search through them again though and see if i can find a sollution.

Hi -

I'd like to get further info on the NIC. Please download the attached zip file, extract the EXE file to Desktop; RIGHT-click on the EXE file, select "Run as Administrator"

2 Notepads will open - 1 behind the other. Save both as text files, zip them up and attach to your next post.

Regards. . .

Turned off UAC and right now it's working, might just be pure luck though.

Pure luck, as you say.

This particular ethernet adapter is more likely than anything else to be hampered by Windows Services which are not set to automatically start with the OS.

Pay attention to ICS and TCP/IP based services which aren't running...

 

[Noto]

Seems my luck went away, had a disconnect this morning. No non-automatic programs but mIRC loaded
Thanks for your suggestion, i'm having trouble locating where to see the automatic ICS and TCP/IP services, but i'll keep looking.

 

[Qdos]

All services are in the services.msc console

I eat my words then

No i still have issues... perhaps i should add i had problems with the OS freezing up aswell, only thing to do was hit the reset button. I had this problem at the start but it went away when i started using programs as administrator. But this morning after 2 weeks or so free of that it came back.

 

[Qdos]

If it's of any consolation, that network adapter works fine under Win 7 x86...

 

[Noto]

Alright, so this is what i did, i installed a new network card and after that there has been 0 disconnects, but i still have issues with the OS 'freezing' up. According to eventviewer this has occured 25 times, so once every other day since i got this computer.

In detail, this is what happens; Usually sound stops, if i'm watching a movie it stops, _sometimes_ music can go on playing, and once or twice, the active program i'm using, or game i'm playing, keep on working for a minute or two.. even managed to keep playing a game for 5 minutes while everything else was not working.

I'm unable to switch programs or close anything down. My cursor changes shape to what you would excpect but it wont do anything. Ctrl+alt+del usually freezes up the computer totally.

I have no clue what's wrong or what to check

 

[jcgriff2]

Apologies for late arrival - thank you for running the reports back when...

If not done since the reports - you need to update with Vista SP2 -

Prep Work for SP2 --> Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - [SOLVED] Should I Install Windows Vista Service Pack 1 ?

Allow SP2 to come to you if at all possible - check Windows Updates - www.update.microsoft.com

You also have Bittorent running along with a literal ton of other apps - AIM, Skype, Live Msgr, Apple iTunes, iPod, etc. . . - all which run at start-up and phone home very often. Those 5 alone will eat your bandwidth up.

You also have a 2007 version of --> Welcome To UPEK - Solutions - Protector Suite QL

Also Alcohol 120, Daemon and nTunes services running - calling home.

Regards. . .

Hmm, thanks for reply, some odd things tho, pretty sure i do not have alcohol 120, deamon, aim installed, are you sure these are from my files? Also, i have no clue what Protector Suite QL is.

was this a pre built computer ?

If yes then it's not surprising to have lots of bloatware installed

go to control panel\Programs and Features then scroll down the list of installed programs and unninstall anything you don't need or want , google them to find out what they do if your unsure

google shows >> Protector Suite QL is fingeprint reader software
