Question Weird behavior on PC ?

[morpheus6677]

I was studying a bit and listened to some music for about 7h hours stright as all of a sudden I couldn't connect to my university's website. after that I tried to connect to some other websites to see wether it's my internet connection's problem or not. I tried to reach soundcloud for example and I couldn't reach the site, but weirdly I was able to connect to youtube for example. What was that all about was I asking myself. maybe connecting to a vpn could solve the problem. so after that I tried to connect to nordvpn, maybe it would solve the problem. But weirdly enough the program didn't start.

I don't know if I'm getting trolled right now or why did these things happen. why could i not reach soundcloud but youtube was available? it doesnt make any sense. and in addition to that there should be no corellation between that and why a simple program wouldnt start. So after a a pc restart everything was fine again. But yet I was wondering what just happened. do pcs behave differently after several hours of use or what? the errors seem to have no correlation between each other. I am just looking for a reason. We live in a universe where causality exists. If I cant find a reason I'm probably gonna beat the <censored> out of my pc so pls help

I get this happening all the time on Windows 11, and it only started happening on Windows 11, but it also happens where my internet is REAL slow on my Roku as well. Every week this happens to me. Here are some things to try.

1. Reboot your modem/router.
2. After the modem is fully rebooted, reboot the PC so it will reconnect to the modem.

Does it work better now?

> So after a a pc restart everything was fine again.

Windows PCs run in a "protected memory mode" where a bad pointer from a program is not supposed to interfere with random memory locations when the PC has a burp. So ppl usually point out a problem with a driver, which, I'm guessing, is not part of the "protect memory mode". I'm a higher level programmer, I don't deal with stuff that is low level.

Try updating your drivers for your motherboard (which may have an issue with communications), and your BIOS, and your firmware (different from the BIOS). Your modem might also need a firmware update. Contact your ISP for that, they might be able to do it remotely.

For updating your modem firmware I meant contact your internet provider if you lease it. Or contact support for the modem maker.
