Hi all

This has got me really confused, my internet is being really patchy on whether it works or not. Just tried to open this site 10 times, 6 times instant the other 4 it timed out and I have no idea why. I have done everything I can think of: Different ethernet cable, reset modem router, scanned pc for virus all do nothing. Turned my other PC and it runs fine with no problems and to top it all off everything else seems to run fine on this pc - Videos, Photoshop, Games etc all find, just the internet is broken.

I keep thinking that it is something to do with me watercooling PC over weekend but PC was on most of yesterday either downloading or I was browsing the internet without problem, as again it was this morning.

I am totally lost so ideas or solutions welcome.

Thanks.

Edit: Just plugged in a spare hdd I had for a fresh windows to rule out any software problems in one go and it is still doing it. So I guess hardware, anything else but motherboard that could cause this?

Edit 2: Ok Seems clearing the CMOS has cured the problem, still weird though.
