Internet Slows To A Halt And Freezes Only Whilst Trying To Access Games

Hey /r/techsupport,

So I've encountered an issue that has been prevalent today, my games have stopped connecting to my internet properly they have begun to encounter a lot of lag like I have a really bad internet connection or something.

Essentially this begun happening after I flushed my dns in order to remove a bug from player unknown battlegrounds - now I can't even play overwatch and leave the spawn room without hitting 3000ms and being promptly disconnected.

I have contacted my ISP but they don't really know what is happening and are simply suggesting I get a new router - but I don't believe that is the issue as I have had no problems for ages and now all of a sudden with this change no games are working.

During regular browsing/youtube/netflix everything is fine - it's just videogames that get a super super high ping/bandwidth error for whatever reason - The youtube video I followed to fix the dns PUBG problem was this one.

ipconfig/release
Ipconfig/all
ipconfig/flushdns
Ipconfig/renew
netsh int ip set dns
netsh winsock reset

That's what lead me to losing my connection to big games like overwatch and what has given me errors.

Any ideas? Windows 7 OS
Wireless card: Asus pce-n15 11n wireless Lan pci-e Card

I have reset router, and hard reset it, fiddled with router settings under guidance from ISP - I have made sure nothing in the house is downloading (as mentioned this kind of stuff isn't the cause I assure you). The internet basically completely drops out for everyone when trying to access these games..

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
