Windows 10: My PC is causing internet to drop out

Hi there, im really hoping someone can help because i am at a dead end.

I have had network issues for months and months. It always disconnects, sometimes once or twice or day. Sometimes 30 or 40 times a day and as a PC gamer you can imagine the frustration.

I recently had an openreach engineer out and he replaced my internet cable from the outdoor box to my home. This fixed my speed issue.

However, I can sit and watch youtube on my phone or laptop fine. Or even netflix on the tv, fine. It always seems to happen when I’m on my computer which makes me think that THAT is the problem. I play World of Warcraft mainly and use discord to chat to my friends. Other than that, not much else. A skype call once a week which last night for instance i cut out 20 times. The internet light on my hub goes off, flashes orange, solid orange then green again then rinse and repeat.

Can my PC be the issue? If so, please lord help me!

:)

 

Edge drops the internet

To resolve this issue, we suggest that you use a new InPrivate window. To open a new InPrivate window, follow the steps below:

• Open Edge.
• Click on the three dots icon on the upper-right part of the screen.
• Click New InPrivate window.

If the issue persists, we recommend that you run the Network troubleshooter. The Network troubleshooter can help diagnose and fix common connection problems. To run it, follow the steps below:

• Click Start.
• In the search bar, type Network problems, and then select
  Identify and repair network problems from the list of results.
• Follow the steps in the troubleshooter and see if that fixes the problem.

To isolate the cause of the issue, turn off any third-party security software or firewalls in your system. If possible,
try moving your PC or laptop closer to the router or access point.

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
