It's all in the title really.. The internet works fine as soon as I startup but after about 1 to 2 hours I get the message "Err-Timed-Out" on every page I visit.. except, worth noting maybe, if I'm watching a YouTube video it'll still play and load up but trying to visit other sites I get the error. Anyway, after I restart the pc, the internet works fine again... for another 1 or 2 hours.
I tried a number of fixes after searching online..
* editing host file to delete any sites.
* doing the ipconfig /flushdns /renew (etc..) through the command prompt.
* disabling Anti-Virus
* disabling AdBlock (on chrome)
* running Spybot
* cleaning registry using CCleaner.
* cleaned using Malwarebytes
Pretty certain it's not a router/network issue because my tablet still connects to the internet fine.
Any help would be really appreciated, it's been happening everyday for weeks now so I'm almost getting used to having to restart every hour or 2 but another concern is if the problem could get worse and the internet might stop altogether?
Yes, I'm on a home computer. But my tablet connects to the internet fine, even when the laptop is having this err_timed_out issue. Could it still be a server issue?
I switching off and turning back on a few times over the past few weeks but no joy
Something strange has happened this morning now.. I might need to start a different thread.. My Win 8 profile no longer loads up when I enter my password.. instead of loading it says "preparing windows" and then t opens up a temp profile and asks me to "try the other profile again later"..
I just restarted again and somehow it seems to have fixed itself.. it works today when logging in but yesterday several login attempts all failed and it created that temp profile. Thanks for the info, I'll use if it reoccurs. Any idea how it fixed itself?
I still have the internet issue though.. are there any further suggestions out there? I'd like to get this thing fixed.
My computer also runs much slower than it used to, it seems to have slowed down a lot over this month.. cleaning with spybot, malwarebytes and ccleaner + defrag proved ineffective. Might just be age but I'd love to speed it up if I can.
Re: Internet Works A Few Hours Then "Err-Timed-Out".. Only A Restart Fixes It
Run Check Disk on the drive.
Go to Start/Search and type CMD, Right click the CMD results and Run As Administrator. In the Elevated Command Prompt type chkdsk /R and press enter, now type a Y for Yes and restart the computer. Check Disk will run at next bootup. It will take a while. This will check for bad sectors on your drive, which may be the cause of your problem.

bit more info... i just downloaded whatsapp for pc.. when the err-timed-out issue happens it also effects that.. it says no internet connection... the strange thing is whenever the error happens i can still visit youtube videos and play them. they stream ok...but every other site gets timed out.. as does the whatsapp program which isnt a browser.

Boot into the the Setup Mode of your Router and check the WAN settings (the settings for your Internet Service Provider) and make sure they are correct with your ISP's documentation. How do I adjust the settings of my home router?
