Hi everyone, not sure if anybody can help me with this but I've gotten desperate after nearly two months of trying to resolve it.
I recently installed a new video card into my relatively shitty system. Well, perhaps not shitty, but it's an older system.
Exactly when these issues started, I had gotten a new video card from a co-worker of mine and, though I intend to upgrade down the line but never really got to it, I put it in and everything ran fine.
The only problem? Every time, and I mean EVERY time, without fail my internet would time out and I would face periodic lagspikes (sometimes it would be every 10 minutes, others 5 minutes). Less 'intensive' games seemed to make this less significant, but nonetheless would impact me.
It's gotten the point where I can't do anything about it because I can't seem to find anything uniquely related to that. If I'm not in a game, I have no issues whatsoever. But when I start playing a game - offline or online - I get the problem.
Any ideas would be great to know. For the record, using my older video card gave me little issues.
Currently, the video card is an ATI Radeon 5770, older one was a 3850 or something (I'd have to go digging to find it again, haha).
