Ill get to the dust suspect after I describe the problem. Bear with me.
Ok so I installed a new video card on my old machine, I checked to make sure it is compatible, everything seems to work fine and I do notice the improvement in video. However since I did this I have had some repulsive and random lag issues with streaming videos and even just website forums.
Previous to my video card installation, Speedtest readings were steady at 12ping, 90DL and 12UL previous to the installation and my machine and everything were running smoothly, I did not experience lag on websites or with programs. Any lag was very infrequent and very tiny.
After video card installation, speedtest drops to 12ping, 33 DL, 12UL. These drops are occasional, sometimes I still get the same 90 mbps readiongs from speedtest, but even when speedtest shows me a strong reading I have been getting major lags from website forums, emails, and also youtube streaming. At first I just ignored them, but when it happened to me over 5x per day, compared to b4 like 1x per week, I started to wonder.
Back to my video card installation. When I installed the card, I noticed a huge collection of dust inside the machine. I did not have an aircan handy at the time so I just tried to install the card without disturbing the dust at all. Video card installation went well and videos are noticeably better overall along with gameplay. However these lags seem to have come with it and I suspect it is the dust, even though a more simple minded part of me is telling me "why would dust inside your machine affect a connection outside of your machine?
I use a wired connection to my router with xfinity.
