Internet cuts out every couples minutes while playing games.

I've had similar dropout issues with a pair of TP-Link powerline adapters. Every so often they drop for 1-2 minutes and then return. Always seems to occur when I'm browsing as I've never had an issue gaming.

I didn't manage to find a proper solution, but some googling indicated that it may be a power-saving function kicking in. Maybe your adapters have something similar?

Probably powerline issues.

You should have said that in the opening post.

Try using a long cable for the time being, see if the issue subsides.

The person you're replying too isn't me, I'm not using powerline adapters I am doing the cmd prompt ping method, and will report back with results.
 
I got a "General Failure" while pinging both the Router and Google's server. Seems that it's the network card failing...
 
Interesting tidbit here...when I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling my killer drivers it appears to not have properly uninstalled, I still have internet access somehow.

Ah,

My apologies :). Any other hardwired devices? Do they have the same issue?

Nope, none other. WiFi isn't affected at all. I have a feeling it's something up with the drivers at this point, considering that when I uninstalled it both the windows way, and the Killer product remover, it didn't properly uninstall it and I had internet access. Not too sure where to go from here now.
 
Did you uninstall in Device Manager too?

Make sure you have a copy of the drivers from their website, remove from Control Panel, go to Device Manager, uninstall, reboot.

There is an option to uninstall the device, not the driver. Is that the same thing?
 
Hmm

Extract them and point device manager at the INF file, that should force device manager to install it.

This is really confusing having two issues in the same thread. @bledd any chance of splitting the posts and replies by @Swiftz out?

I'll give you the quick rundown, I'm on an Ethernet connection, have tried uninstalling and reinstalling my drivers, from a Killer Network port, the drivers appear to still be there despite me having "uninstalled" them. I cannot install new ones, and I cannot do a system restore to a couple of days ago. I'm starting to think my Windows is corrupted.
