I posted this here because some people I've talked to think it could be graphics card related but htis post might be more suited to a networking forum. I don't know for sure
I have an issue where watching a YouTube video will crash my DNS. I thought it might just be a Chrome-related issue but it happens on Opera as well.
I will start a YouTube video and my internet will cut out at random points. I don't have any issue with any other streaming service and can watch videos at 1080p just fine. It's only YouTube that I seem to have an issue with.
I have a custom-built PC from DigitalStorm
Windows 10 64bit OS
MSI PCMate MoBo
Nvidia GTX1070
64gb ram from Corsair
2 solid-state drives
2 HDD
and a 750w PSU from Corsair
I have a NetGear modem and a Netgear wireless router which are a bit dated but work just fine for literally everything else from gaming to uploading videos to streaming from NetFlix, DisneyPlus, FandangoNow, Vimeo, Twitch, etc.
For whatever reason, Youtube is the only place where I notice the problem. I use the built-in troubleshooter to reset the DNS when it crashes. While the issue is most prevalent in the early parts of the video and then mostly works after I run the troubleshooter, I have had multiple crashes on a single video. Crashes can happen seconds apart or beginning and end of the video.
I have tried:
Reinstalling Chrome
Turning off Hardware acceleration on Chrome
Reinstalling all video drivers
Reinstalling updates and drivers for my NetGear devices
Reinstalling ram drivers
defragmenting and using disk cleanup on my drives
I am not sure what else I can do. As I said, it's only YouTube that seems to have that issue and I can't think of why YouTube would cause it to happen but no other streaming service.
Any help and advice are much appreciated.
