PC keeps disconnecting from ISP, Why?

den cole · 21 Mar 2006 at 08:36

Hi, Hope you can help.
I have just upgraded my PC with an Abit AN8 SLI motherboard with 2x512 sticks of Ram, a Radeon X800GTO 512MB Graphics card and an AMD 3200+ CPU. I'm running Windows XP Pro SP2. The problem is that my internet connection keeps disconnecting at different intervals and somtimes I cant even connect. I am with Talktalk broadband with connection of 2MBps. Before I changed my hardware I had no problems. I have reinstalled my Modem driver but still the same.

Please help
Many thanks
Den

Connection

I only have the cables to plug my modem into a USB port.

tolien, My modem lights are always on even when I get disconnected. If its the internet disconnecting I'm not sure what part.

Tolearn/GAMEfreak, I never used a filter on my old system, so figured don't neeed one for my new system.

Mekrel, My other USB devices that are connected have their own power. I have the BIOS and Chipset default that came with my MBoard have not updated them.

Sleepless, I have just looked at device manager and yes their seems to be a problem. Under "other devices" i have a exclamation mark next to"other PCI bridge device" and "USB device". Could this be the problem? If so how do I correct it?

Thanks guys! I appreciate your help.

Well when I leave my connection up and running, say to download somthing after say 20mins, my internet connection has disconnected, I then try to reconnect but it won't allow me to. But I think the problem is solved. I noticed a conflict in my device manager, I uninstalled the device (another 2 USB ports, not needed...yet). I left my PC connected to the internet all night and it was still connected this morning! So thanks all for your help, I hope its solved.

Thanks!

PC Internet connection keeps disconnecteing

Hi,
I thought the problem had been solved, but it hasn't. it still disconnects when it wants to, and I have trouble re-connecting and have to reboot my PC, sometimes this works.

This is doning my head in!!

Filter

Mon, I just checked the link out. It turns out that I do have a filter fitted. I have a Central Filter, I didn't realise this was a filter. My connection has been up and running continuously for three days, so it seems ok now. Maybe TalkTalk were having a problem.

Thanks
