Windows 10: Apps not responding, using a lot of disk, and my I'm not sure if my ethernet port on my...

My computer is connected through an ethernet port and I should be getting around 400 mb/s download speeds like my roommate is. I tried switching my lan cable with his, no change. Switching ports, same problem. I'm not sure why my download speeds would be around 16 mb/s while my roommate connected to the same wifi with essentially the same computer specs is getting 400+. My computer seems to be running fine, it's just apps are opening slow and sometimes crashing and not responding.

So here are my questions:

1. Why is my download speed so much lower than my roommates, do I need a new motherboard? What could be affecting my download speed that drastically?
2. Why are my apps randomly not responding and crashing? I have 1Tb of free space so I don't think that's the problem.
3. I Appreciate the help in advance, thank you!

Ethernet port not blinking...

possibly your ethernet port has died...

Unless if you format/reinstall windows , and see if that way... but overall, physically take a look at the motherboard in the computer, and see if any capacitor's top's have blown open or even have a bump on them (the tops of the capacitors should be flat) . If any indication that happens, then your mobo is eventually gonna die.

Other than that, u went through all other steps that are very known..

**My Friends system not to long ago has the exact same issue, and there were caps blown, but only the ethernet didnt work

We appreciate the information you've provided. We'd like to confirm the results after following the steps on the link provided on our previous post.

Meanwhile, to isolate your concern, we suggest that you check the following:

• 
  If the Ethernet port is clean.
  
• 
  If the end of RJ45 (Ethernet cord) is still intact.
  
• 
  If available, test the RJ45 (Ethernet cord) to your other device and check if issue persists.
  

We look forward to your reply so we can assist you further.

 

ethernet ports

Hi,
I just noticed that my mobo has 2 ethernet ports. Currently my download speed is around 15000kb/s on speedtest.net, I was just wondering if i plugged in another ethernet cable to the open ethernet port, will my download speeds double?
