I'm getting somewhere. So my suspicion is probably correct. The onboard ethernet got hit by lightning. Haven't seen that on ethernet. Just dialup back in the day. My home theater AV receiver died about the same time my PC wasn't connecting to the internet. Took the receiver to a place to repair...

I'm not sure what I'm looking for in the events viewer. It does say something about the built-in Intel ethernet not working. Im going to guess it's dead. I can never get any lights on it to flash. But I've been having the same issue. I've completely done a fresh install of Windows. Wiped the...

Getting closer, but not 100%. Rebooted in safe mode and played around for 10 minutes. Didn't have any issues. So I rebooted and downloaded the driver view utility. Updated/reinstalled Nvidia, Sound Blaster, and Reltec drivers. After I installed the Reltec ones for my new USB Ethernet the...

Its so weird. I've figured out that it has something to do with the internet browser. And it doesn't look like it matters which one. So after boot, I was able to to the Windows update. Downloaded all the security updates and stuff. Took about 10 minutes to install. But as soon as I open a...

Okay, did the clean boot. Still lost internet. Decided that I was tried of trying to track down the issue on the computer so I did a reset. I did the option where it will re-install WIndows 10 and wipe the apps, but not completely wipe my drives. System came back up was able to get on the...

Okay. Yep. That makes 100% sense. And now that you've said that about the only software that may have been new is my new Logitech mouse. Love Logitech hardware, but have zero trust in their software. I know it worked the weekend prior, but they could have pushed a new update. But if not, I have...

I have a very odd and frustrating problem. I lose internet about a minute after booting up. Nothings changed. I use my PC every weekend. It's not a daily used machine since I work on a Mac. But Last weekend the machine was perfectly fine. Now it won't keep an internet connection after it boots...

Finally got Windows 10 installed. NOTHING worked. I don't understand it. After narrowing it down, I think I realized there was something messed up with my Windows 7 install. It worked fine, but wasn't even able to run the System Restore to fix anything that could be wrong with Windows 7...

Decided to install Windows 10 this weekend. From what I can tell, it installed properly. But cannot get past the "Welcome to Window 10" Screen. See image below. I am on a home-built PC with Window 7 Pro. All current updates to Windows 7 are installed, and the Win 10 compatability screen shows...
