I currently have 32g of RAM. I am using an MSI AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT.

I currently have an MSI B450 Tomahawk Max with a Ryzen 5 3600 CPU. However, I am looking to upgrade the processor and am not sure which Ryzen CPU would work with a Mobo this old. This PC is used to do many things but I mostly game. I would like to play higher end games without building a new...

I now understand why the Google DNS servers are better, and more reliable thanks to bill001g's post and your links. Thank you very much. I guess I'm just trying to figure out why the issue started happening as I have always used my routers' DNS for every router I've had without issue. Only...

Roughly 48 hours later and the problem seems to have gone away. I will keep monitoring but why did my previous DNS servers cause the issue? Is there something I did, or can avoid doing, to prevent the issue in the future?

So far the connection has stayed stable. I know it hasn't quite been 24 hours but I've had a rare off day from work today, though I am going to wait to say for certain. The only difference I have seen so far is a slightly slower load time on web pages. Is that common with the Google DNS...

The modem is an Arris CM3200. I've had it for a while (beyond 5 years) and the cable company says it is operating fine. There is only one port on the modem (other than the cable jack and power). It is hardwired to the router with CAT 6 to the specified port on the router. Here are the...

DISM and SFC returned no issues at all.

The application is removed and it has not been reinstalled by anything so far. The problem still persists.

Literally did a Malware scan right before posting this and it returned nothing. Windows Defender returned no issues. Running spyware scan now. Last time I ran scans was 91 days ago. As far as agt.exe, I do not see it running in my processes currently. However, I searched the drive for it...

I do not have VLAN enabled on the router.

The issue started again just a few minutes ago. This was the only thing on the Event Viewer, but it was 32 minutes before the connectivity issue: The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID...
