Hi guys,

Looking for a bit of help here. I have a custom built PC and as the title says I am dropping connection every couple of minutes for a few seconds.

Basically, I am using my PC as normal. Ran into some issues recently because of older hardware and was wondering if newer Motherboard drivers would fix it. I installed a motherboard driver for my network adapter. (Didn't think twice about it and regret my decision) but since I have done that I am running into this issue. The Dropped connections aren't noticeable if I am using anything normally. Like when I am talking with my friends on discord, Don't notice it dropping connection. Where I do notice it is when I am playing a game called Escape from Tarkov. For some reason if the game notices a disconnect at any time, It doesn't retry connecting for 40 seconds. This is making my load times a lot longer than they should be.

I have tried rolling back every single network driver, I have turned off any energy saving settings on my network settings and nothing seems to be working. I flushed my IPconfig and everything like that and at the minute I am stumped.

I have attached some snips of my build, Network adapter and the errors I am getting in the logs for tarkov.

Any help or suggestions would be massive.



 
Try a much simpler test.
Open a CMD windows and leave a constant ping run to the router IP address. Generally you never see a issue here and most times it is something like a bad cable.

If this is fine let a ping run to 8.8.8.8. Issues here generally mean your internet connection is dropping

Just run both tests. I got a reply every time without dropping, Except the time jumped up every 10-15 attempts. To the router IP it was always less than 1ms and then a sudden jump to 100+ but never higher than 130ms

To 8.8.8.8. it did the same except it was roughly every 8-10 replies that the time jumped up to anywhere from 50ms to 150ms

To add to this, It was on average around 6/7ms when it wasn't jumping up
