Sorry if these tpe of questions don't belong here.
First main question: does doing a ping test to the router just tell you about the connection of the computer to the router? Or is it also dependent on the internet? I realized I could probably test it out without interent connection but if anyone knows that would be great.
I am getting random screen freezes/ping spikes when gaming. Mainly league of legends. It happens about every other match. In game it says my FPS drops to zero and ping to 400 or some large number. But that's right after unfreezing. Sometimes the sound gets distorted as well. I'm trying to figure out if it's my computer or internet. I'll start off with my computer, what I've done and then what I'm currently trying.
My computer is an ASUS ROG Strix G15CS Gaming Desktop Computer, Intel Octa-Core i7-9700F up to 4.7GHz, 16GB DDR4 RAM, 512GB PCIe SSD + 1TB HDD, RTX 2070 Super 8GB GDDR6

Which I got recently when I moved in to a new apartment, so both my spectrum internet and computer are new. I've tried re-installing windows and drivers. Re-installing the game. Reseting router and modem.eveeything is connected and brand new. And I still get random screen freezes.
In addition, sometimes when I exit the game (or not) while it freezes, the monitor will lose connection. Also,, when I go to a new web page it often says it's unreachable and something to do with DNS servers. It doesn't happen on my work laptop or phone which is why I think it may be a hardware issue.
I have been doing to continously ping tests while Gaming which I stop when I get the screen freeze. One to Google servers to check my internet, and one pinging my routers IP adress. When pinging to Google I lose the signal. At first when pinging to the router I thought there was no change in ping then I realized it jumps to >3000 ms. I am not sure how pinging to router works, but if there is a spike there is it safe to assume that the problem is with the hardware? Somewhere between the router and the computer and not the internet itself?
Please let me know if you've ever encountered this problem or gave any ideas of what to do next. Thank you.
