Hi all
just finished building a new computer, installed windows 7 64bit and the drivers. started downloading anti virus stuff, then realized my internet (this tower is the only cable connection) would spike then drop to 0. speed test show normal 12mbs down and 1.5 mbs up. this same thing happens to browser download. I then tried using a download manager, periodically it would also drop to 0 and say server stops responding, but then it would retry connection and be able to maintain speed for 10 seconds before drop back to 0.
My laptop connects fine via wifi to the router.
I dont' think this is a ISP or router problem, maybe I got a faulty motherboard?
please help.
thanks!
