Weird Problem Found

[Luke_stroud]

Right, I am curious why this has happened?
I have my feelings that it is an earthing problem, however when i install a second monitor on my GPU my download speed goes from 20mb/s to about 1mb/s
This sounds weird right?
But when i unplug it i will have a fast speed- the monitory even caused the PC to completely dissconect from the internet!
I don't have a clue why but it was definitely the second screen, as i have had it running fine for 4 days straight now!
Anybody have an idea why?
Thanks a lot!

Hi
How does your PC connect to the internet wired or wireless ?

Wired- on the ethernet port on the motherboard!

Well could be you are correct about the earthing problem but first you should plug the second monitor in then go to device manager and check that the ethernet driver does not have a yellow mark next to it in case the monitor is conflicting with it.
If you have a spare monitor power cable you could try it in that monitor.
I take it that both monitors and the PC are plugged into the same power strip,if not it would be worth trying it.

I already checked and there is no driver confliction, and yes they are in smae power strip, have tried seperate aswell, guess its just earting!

You need to check that the socket you are plugged into has a decent earth.
Either use a multimeter set to AC volts and measure between live and earth ,you should get about 240V.
Or use one of these http://
