[SOLVED] Ping spikes making online gaming impossible

[irsaxu]

I keep getting very high ping spikes (100-1500ms) every few seconds. This makes it basically impossible to play any online game, and makes watching streams also very difficult, despite a fast (250mbps) connection. Here is a picture of what the ping spikes look like:

I have done several hours worth of troubleshooting to no avail, using every solution and method I could find online, and even ended up reinstalling Windows, which also didn't help.



I am using an ethernet connection. No other computers that I connect to my router have the same issue. I have even plugged my PC into another router and I had the same problem.



I've been having this problem since Thursday evening, despite no change in anything that I could imagine as being an influence (router, hardware, software, etc.)



What can I do?

Tried a different cable?

Yes, and it made no difference.

Can you open windows tak manager and at the bottom source controll, when the window of source control is openend just shut down task manager itself.
See what programs might use alot of the network, maybe one makes this happen since not happening on the other pc's. Yes i've read that you reinstalled windows, but maybe you reinstalled soemthing else too that does this.

Can maybe test lan port by using something like this,

USB 3.0 naar gigabit ethernet netwerk adapter

Equipped with a USB 3.0 port and Gigabit Ethernet port, UE300 provides a high-speed data transfer rate up to 1000Mbps. Its foldable and portable design ideally suits any Ultrabook.

see if it happens with this too.

No, I didn't download or install anything after the reset, aside from Chrome, which I used to test the ping again.

I don't understand the article you sent me because it's in Dutch.

Soemthing like this can be used to test if the problem is pc's lan connection or that it is what comes before it,
