Getting a yellow triangle after a couple of minutes, finding it hard to fix.

When I'm connected to my network, I get a yellow triangle after a couple of minutes (Atleast 10 minutes) my browser will freeze for a few seconds, and It stops giving me access to the network unless I reconnect. It may not sound much of a big problem, but I'm the only person in the house who's getting this problem, and I tend to browse the internet, play online games and Skype friends a lot, so It's a really tedious process for me to go through. What makes it even more frustrating is I've tried everything to fix the problem, but nothing worked. I've tried running anti-virus scans, running all sorts of ipconfig commands, updating the drivers, optimizing the TCP and even simply restarting my computer, but none of them did anything. It's improved my internet performance, but it hasn't fixed the yellow triangle problem.

Manufacturer/Model: Acer Predator G3620
Network Adapter: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz 3.40GHz
Router: BT Home Hub 5

EDIT: I've been looking into this problem in more depth, and it appears that it does not show the yellow triangle unless I'm surfing around the web, so when I'm not using a web browser, the yellow triangle problem seems to be silent. I'm guessing It's a problem related with my browser, but I don't want to jump to a conclusion.

EDIT 2: I've cleared my browsing data on Chrome, and the problem was fixed...That was until a few hours later, when It started to come back again. I did what I did before and the yellow triangle was still there. I am starting to build the urge to reset my computer, which I don't want to do as I've just reset it to factory settings a few months ago.
 
Suggest that you take a look at the Event logs on your computer. Open the logs just after booting up. Do your work as usual and monitor the logs. May take some time to get yourself familiar with the events being logged. Eventually (probably after a bit of trial and error) you will note some error that precedes the problem or pops up with the problem.

You can also use "perfmon /res" (in the start window) to monitor your system as well. Again, you will need to watch and adjust the focus to narrow down the problem. However it is easy to change tabs and view different performance aspects of your computer.

All much easier than a reset and more likely to help you identify a re-occuring issue that resets do not resolve.
