is the network showing as available in your connections manager?

In my experience, that is some form of virus/malware preventing connection and usually results in a clean install. Others may have quicker solutions though

Not sure that will help, as it wouldn't stay stable enough to install Windows on Saturday. WIll try that unless another solution is offered. I was also thinking of taking it completely appart and giving it to someone else to sort out

Morning. So, let me start by saying I am in no way a nube to system building or upgrading. The issue I am having is starting to drive me mad. I had a HP 3015 PRO MT, which I upgraded with an Asus AMD R7 260X 2GB card and a Corsair RM650 fully modular PSU. I then started to get stability...

sounds a strange response. It may be the ribbon type cable going from the mobo to the screen is damaged/loose. I had a similar issue with my laptop a few weeks ago, my screen just had lines all over it. took the keyboard off and pushed the connection tight and has worked fine since
