I'll try be as straight to the point as possible with this.
I nudged my monitor and my keyboard lights turned off ( this has happened before ) so i re-plugged in the keyboard and continued .After this happened my game starts lagging, I tab out and see the Error triangle on my connection so i restart and it remains there. I've tried many things from entering commands in windows powershell to changing the Ethernet cable and resetting the router. After troubleshooting i got : the default gateway is not available.
Also, what i find strange is I can get the internet to work for like 1-5 minutes after restarting and then it goes back to yellow triangle on connection...
Ill give all the info I've got right now but i'm not too sure on everything needed, so i'd appreciate if you just asked for any more info and I'll try provide it.

Router: Sky Q Hub, provider Sky
Its wireless but i've got this "200Mbps PLC Passthrough" Thing, model no. PL3001A Which connects to the pc by ethernet.
PC Specs:
Asrock H61M-DGS R2.0
Corsair CX500 Builder Series ATX 500W Power Supply
8GB DDR3 Ram
i5 3570k
Gtx 1060 6GB
Windows 10
As for PC info to do with the connection, like i said i'd appreciate if you asked and ill try find it.
1 Laptop and 1 PC connected to the internet ( It's only my PC connection that's not working properly )
Less than 15 devices connected at any one time.
Thanks edit: Taking the Ethernet cable out for 5-10mins then putting it back gives me internet for 3-5mins

Interesting. For now let's try a few simple steps and see if that helps the issue.

To start with, try restarting your PC. When you do this, make sure that you press Restart and not Shut Down. Restarting clears certain cached data which the other options do not do and can often help to resolve weird issues.

If that does not fix your issue then try restarting your router. When you turn it off, let it stay off for 15 minutes or so, and then try turning it back on.

If those both fail, then try using a different ethernet cable. If the issue still persists then post back here with what you did and we will try to guide you through this further 😛
 
probably hardware issues. gen3 is getting fairly old.
i'd check your mobo for any broken or bulging caps or any signs of burning.
not much else you can do unless you have test equipment that you can swap in and out and see if the issue goes away.

if you have a P3 power reader thing you can watch the Watts or Amps and see if they spike before it dies. That would be a bad sign for sure. something would be trying to draw more power than it can handle.
