I'm sorry for sounding so desperate but I really need some help. For about the last two weeks, I've been getting stutter lag at 5 second intervals in any game or internet application I use. For streaming it's not really noticeable because of buffering, but any online game is practically unplayable.
It started after I had shutdown my computer while I was away for a weekend. I hadn't shut it down in a long time. Windows updated, and I thought that was the problem. I uninstalled those updates and still, the problem persisted. My NIC card was acting up (it was 6 years old), so I disabled it and have been using a wireless USB network adapter since, same problem.
I've updated drivers (uninstalled and reinstalled), I've reinstalled Steam, I've changed adapter settings, I've run anti virus scans, disabled anti virus, closed possible problem background programs - I've spent hours scouring the internet for fixes, and none have worked. It also happens on other networks as well. The only thing I can think of is that it's a deep OS problem, but ANY help would be appreciated. I'm beyond frustrated. :/
